The Benefits of Beans

Low Calorie Food
When added to boiling water, bean flours thicken in only 1 minute and can become a pefect white sauce base for lots of recipes. By replacing bean flour in cream and soup recipes you lower the calories dramatically because you take out the butter.

Great Protein
Beans are an excellent source of protein, forming a complete protein when combined with rice, corn, and many other foods. Getting protein this way can help you avoid some of the fatty meat proteins.

High in Fiber
One cup of beans provide the same amount of fiber as 3 standard doses of Metamucil. Not only do they give you the fiber, they are much more pleasant to eat and can be prepared with endless variety of tastes.

Low in Fat
Nearly all beans contain only 2-3% fat! You can even add oils to some recipes without going above even the 10% fat level recommended by Doctors.


Lower Cholesterol
Did you know that beans can help lower your cholesterol level? Not only do they contain NO cholesterol, they actually help the body get rid of what is considered bad cholesterol.
