(They are gluten-free, of course!)
Mix in your favourite vegetables and spices and toss through salads, soups or a spaghetti-like dish.
A quick lunch is this freshly cooked bean pasta with peas, corn, sprouts and a few teaspoons of homemade salsa and tahini.
Health Benefits
They are very high in fiber, folate, protein, and antioxidants, along with numerous other vitamins and minerals. Black beans make a complete protein when paired with brown rice, which is often why they are so commonly included in a vegetarian diet.
Black beans are abundant in soluble fiber, which is specifically the type of fiber that has been found very helpful in lowering blood cholesterol levels. Lowered risks of coronary heart disease and heart attack have both been associated with increased consumption of soluble fiber, particularly from legumes.
