Although some people use 'Butler' runner beans strictly as an ornamental, this variety is still an excellent-tasting bean that provides abundant, stringless pods. Delicious in just about any bean dish, Butlers are traditionally served lightly boiled (great with either butter or oil!) or in bean salads. In addition, vitamin K in these beans plays a prominent role in blood clotting and heals the wounds. It also maintains strong bones in the elderly. 'Butler' beans are also a rich source of dietary fiber, which helps in prevention and treatment of constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulitis. In addition, the high fiber content in green beans helps to maintain cholesterol and sugar levels in your body.
