🌱 From Farm to Fork: The Nutritional Power of French Beans & Snow Peas

Why Kenyan-Grown Legumes Deserve a Spot on Every Plate

When it comes to healthy eating, fresh legumes like French beans, snow peas (mangetout), and sugar snap peas are often the unsung heroes. Low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with essential nutrients, they’re the perfect example of how nature’s simplest foods can be the most powerful for our health.

At Shamude Farm Exports Ltd, we grow and export premium-quality legumes straight from the fertile soils of Kenya to kitchens and markets across the globe. Here’s why these crunchy, nutrient-rich vegetables should be part of your daily diet.

🥦 French Beans – The Slim & Strong Veggie

French beans (also called green beans or haricots verts) are low in calories but rich in vitamins A, C, and K, making them a triple threat for immunity, skin health, and strong bones.

Health benefits include:

• Weight-friendly nutrition – just ~31 calories per 100g

• High fiber content for better digestion

• Rich in antioxidants that protect against cell damage

• Supports heart health through potassium and magnesium

At Shamude, our French beans are harvested at peak freshness to lock in their natural crunch and flavor.

🌿 Snow Peas (Mangetout) – Crisp Sweetness in Every Bite

Snow peas are flat, tender pods with tiny peas inside—and you eat them whole! They’re known for their light sweetness, low calorie count, and high fiber content.

Why they’re good for you:

• Excellent source of vitamin C for immune support

• Contains vitamin K for strong bones

• High fiber helps regulate blood sugar

• Only ~42 calories per 100g, perfect for light meals

They’re versatile too—delicious in stir-fries, salads, or simply steamed for a healthy snack.

🍃 Sugar Snap Peas – The Sweet & Crunchy Snack

Sugar snaps are a cross between snow peas and garden peas, giving them the best of both worlds—a sweet taste, plump peas, and an edible pod.

Nutritional highlights:

• Rich in vitamin C and B vitamins

• Low glycemic index – great for blood sugar control

• Packed with dietary fiber for a healthy gut

• Naturally sweet flavor makes them perfect raw or cooked
