Here's the scoop on green beans. Immature beans found in the pods of fresh green beans or snap peas or whatever contain less phytic acid than the mature beans we cultivate to be eaten in mass quantities like soy, black beans, etc. Hunter gatherers didn't/don't grow crops of these foods. However, they would take advantage of the occasional legume, or even grain sometimes. Part of what we're trying to emulate is how often they ate these things, which has everything to do with how much phytic acid, lectins, gluten, etc. we're consuming on a regular basis. The occasional green bean, especially if it's cooked (and therefore has the phytic acid and lectins mostly removed), is totally fine in my opinion. If you have an issue with them, though, you can certainly swap out the green beans in this recipe for any leafy green or other veggie of your choice. Hope that helps!
