Inspired by a Glasgow Food Network campaign, we are running a project to encourage people to eat more beans!
Check out our recipes and videos and watch our Facebook page for events where we will giving out samples and bags of ingredients!
ALL ABOUT BEANS!
Beans have high Nutritional Value: Beans are rich in essential nutrients, including protein, fibre, vitamins (such as B vitamins), and minerals (like iron, magnesium, and potassium), contributing to overall health.
Heart Health: Regular consumption of beans can lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease due to their high fibre, potassium, and low-fat content.
Blood Sugar Regulation: The complex carbohydrates and fibre in beans help stabilise blood sugar levels, making them an excellent food choice for individuals with diabetes or those looking to manage their blood sugar.
Digestive Health: Beans are a great source of dietary fibre, which promotes healthy digestion, prevents constipation, and maintains a healthy gut microbiome.
Weight Management: The high protein and fibre content in beans can help make you feel full, reduce overall calorie intake, and support weight management and weight loss efforts.
Cost-Effective: Beans are generally inexpensive compared to other protein sources like meat and fish, making them a budget-friendly option for adding nutritional value to your diet.
