Beans are members of the larger family of legumes orheirloom, plants used for their edible seeds and pods that boast a high nutrient density with low-maintenance production and storage. They contain high levels of protein, essential minerals and fiber while maintaining a low level of fats.
In other words, dried beans (often referred to as grain legumes) may contribute to some of the health benefits associated with plant-based diets.
Beans are rich in a number of important micronutrients, including potassium, magnesium, folate, iron, and zinc, and are important sources of protein in vegetarian diets. (Couple with a healthy diet of regular consumption along with regular exercise)
