Green, red, kidney, lima and soy are just a few of the different kinds of beans recognized today, National Bean Day. This day celebrates the bean in all sizes, shapes and colors.
Weâve been cultivating beans (legumes) since the early seventh millennium BC. And today, just as throughout old and new world history, beans provide a significant source of protein.
Not only are beans an exceptionally healthy meal and snack choice, but they supply an excellent source of fiber. They are low in fat and are high in complex carbohydrates, folate, and iron too. One cup of beans supplies between 9 and 13 grams of fiber, and soluble fiber can help in lowering blood cholesterol.
