Nutrition Facts
Although diets like Paleo and Gerson promote some parts of a healthy diet, like consuming lots of multi-coloured vegetables, they don’t allow nutrient-rich legumes such as black beans.
Legumes are very inexpensive and a great source of protein! Protein helps your body to heal and build new tissues, muscle, skin and hair.
Black beans, like other legumes, contain:
Fibre, which helps lower cholesterol, control blood sugar levels, assists with weight loss by helping you feel full, and helps maintain regular bowel movements.
B vitamins, which help to give you energy.
Minerals like potassium and magnesium, which help regulate your blood pressure.
Iron, which your body needs to make blood.
Eating plant sources of iron with sources of vitamin C such as lime juice helps your body absorb iron better.
