When it comes to foods with a lot to offer, beans rank high on the list. Not only are they full of protein, fiber, Vitamin B, zinc, copper, potassium, iron, and copper, they're also non-perishable, cheap, and come in a variety of colors. With so many benefits, these small friends seem awfully attractive, don't you think?
Beans are incredibly versatile and can be added into a vast array of recipes, making them very easy to incorporate into your diet. I personally enjoy black beans atop my fajitas (check out my fajita fiesta post here) and have even made brownies with them! You'd be surprised by just how far beans can go. You can buy them either canned or dry, and though canned is more convenient, dry beans contain no added sodium and are typically cheaper as well (though you can simply rinse canned beans to wash away excess sodium before consumption- I pour them into a colander and rinse them under the kitchen sink).
With so many delicious dishes and baked goods beans can be used in, and with so many types of beans to choose from (kidney, navy, black, pinto... just to name a few), incorporating them into your next meal should be a no brainer! Below are some recipes for some bean-loving inspiration!
