Beans are a beloved pantry staple across the globe because they're affordable, filling and brimming with vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.
From a hearty pot full of Kickin' Hot Chili to Roasted Garlic Hummus dip with veggies, beans are a versatile ingredient for endless dish ideas. But despite their many uses and healthy reputation, many people may steer clear of beans due to fears of gas, digestive upset.
Eating beans offers an impressive combo of nutrients and health benefits. According to a 2021 article published in Nutrients, beans have protein, fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and resistant starch. Additionally, beans are a major source of antioxidants, thanks to their phytochemicals and polyphenols—compounds in many plant foods that provide protective antioxidants that may improve blood sugar levels, enhance blood pressure and lower cardiovascular disease risk.
