Beans, Beans, they’re good for your heart… and more!
Beans are full of protein, iron, folic acid, folate* and fiber.
They’re low fat. High in complex carbohydrates. phytochemicals and protease inhibitors (cancer).
Black Beans are a great source of fiber and protein, and antioxidants. They have 10 times the antioxidants found in oranges and they are the highest source of zinc of any of the vegetables. And they’re low in fat. A former school nurse just informed me that corn and beans form a complete protein – for the vegetarians.
*Folate deficiency has been linked to depression.
