Spill the beans
For such a simple food
stuff, beans are an incredibly
healthy food, and something
you should always have
to hand. As well as being
a great source of protein,
they’re also nutrient-dense,
containing everything
from fibre and folate to
magnesium and zinc. Studies
have found that people
who eat beans tend to have
a healthier heart, and the
humble bean can also help
to lower blood glucose levels
and improve gut health.
