methods today is time-consuming—and
frankly, it seems like a tremendous amount of
work for a food that simply isn’t that
nutritious.
BACK TO FIBER
Many people think beans are a
good source of fiber, and they
certainly are—but remember, so
are vegetables and fruit (not to
mention that the nutrients in
veggies and fruit are more
bioavailable). So while you could
get a nice dose of fiber from
beans, it would be like eating a
Mounds bar to reap the benefits
of coconut—there are far better
sources of fiber that don’t have
the same potential downsides.
