I love green bean dishes. This recipe is an example of how simple and quick ingredient additions can bring a basic dish to a whole new level! Green beans contain many health boosting nutrients, including Vit C, Vit K, manganese and fiber. Ginger adds a nice zing to the recipe, contains antioxidants and can help decrease GI distress. This a great side dish to add to the holiday table this year!
