Nutritional Choice of the Month - April 2008: Black Beans

Arguably the best plant-based source of protein and fiber, black beans are delicious with salads and in chili.  The soluble fiber beans possess helps sweep away bad cholesterol (LDL), thereby improving one’s lipid profile. Black beans’ high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an excellent choice for persons with diabetes and insulin resistance.
