Black beans are packed with fiber and a general superstar legume. Super versatile food. They pair well in bowls, salads, wraps, soups and even baked goods (shout out to black bean brownies). Additionally, black beans are a great source of fiber, protein and folate and a staple food in central and south America.
According to this study, black beans may help reduce the spike in blood sugar that occurs after eating a meal. This may help reduce the risk of diabetes and weight gain. Anyhow, if you try this, share it and tag us with #eatrefolo
