In praise of the mighty bean! Beans have fibre, B vitamins, iron, potassium, magnesium and phytonutrients. Beans help lower cholesterol and reduce type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and diverticular disease.
They are an excellent source of low fat protein and provide complete protein when combined with nuts, dairy and grains.
Beans taste great too. Love green beans in green Thai curry! They are a valuable contributor to a low-glycemic diet.
Cheers, Keith
