Long Beans with Onion and Garlic (Tempered)

These long beans are from my friend Lionel’s garden

The long bean, also known as the runner bean, is considered as an energy food. It is low in calories, and has good amounts of vitamins A and C. It is good for cardiovascular protection and helps lower blood pressure. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
