Beans are super good for you! They are on Dr. Fuhrman's list of the 5 top cancer fighting foods.
- loaded with protein, pair with rice, grains, pasta, tortillas for a complete protein
- high in complex carbs
- dietary fiber
- rich in vitamins and minerals
- no cholesterol
Canned beans are fine, but you want to make sure that they are rinsed well to get rid of the sodium film that's on them.
