Beans cause an embarrassing flatulence problem, but there are many health benefits of adding Bean Salad into your diet.
Beans are kind of underrated, I think. Without them, we won’t have an amazing addition to our rice bowls, burritos would be a bit emptier, and there would be one less side option. There would be no chili, no special baked potato topping, and we wouldn’t have hummus, either. There are so many different kind of beans, it’s just impossible not to enjoy them.
This recipe is a fresh option to consider enjoying beans with. Having 3 different kinds of beans, you get to enjoy the flavors and benefits all in one simple salad. Naturally as my recipes go, they will never be without their benefits. For this recipe, I decided to tell you about 7 of them!
7 Benefits of Beans:
- Low in fat: they are only 2-3% fat, which is almost nothing.
- Packed with protein: beans are a vegetable protein and contain no cholesterol.
- Lowers cholesterol level: eating beans regularly will lower cholesterol level and result in a reduced chance of heart disease.
- Lowers blood sugar: the protein and complex carbohydrate in beans make this a smart food choice because it is quickly digested and lowers blood pressure.
- Prevent constipation: as a result of the high fiber content, beans can keep your bowel movements more regular.
- Help with weight-loss: fiber-rich food promotes weight-loss. Beans happen to be fiber-rich and keep you full longer.
- Wallet-friendly: this vegetable protein is affordable and nutritious!
When buying beans in cans, buy organic and rinse before using.
