Beans (legumes) date back to the early seventh millennium B.C.E., making them one of the longest-cultivated plants.
As they were seven millennia ago, today, beans are a significant source of protein. If you’re looking for complex carbohydrates, folate, fiber, and iron, eat some beans. They are excellent sources for each of those.
A very healthy choice for any meal or snack, they are also an excellent source of fiber, low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates, folate, and iron.
• There are approximately 40,000 bean varieties in the world!
• Only a fraction of these varieties are mass-produced for regular consumption.
Let’s Snack!
That’s a lot of beans! How do we know which ones to choose? Snacking on chickpeas provides us with one of the best choices.
Also known as garbanzo beans, these legumes pack a whopping 12.5 grams of fiber, seventy-one percent of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of folate, eighty-four percent RDI of Manganese, and twenty-six percent RDI of Iron per serving in one cup.
Add chickpeas to stews like you would any bean. However, they also roast nicely with your favorite herbs and spices for a delicious and healthy snack.
Another tremendous snacking bean is the soybean. For more tips on bean varieties, visit the website below to learn about the six most healthful beans:
