What nutrients are we talking about?
Beans are an excellent source of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals that promote our health. They are very low in calories and saturated fat, making them a great choice for a protein-rich breakfast. Beans are also abundant in a type of antioxidant known as polyphenols, which reduce free radical damage in the body preventing a wide range of diseases. The high-fibre content of beans also feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can improve intestinal barrier function, regulate bowel movements, and reduce the risk of developing gastrointestinal diseases.
