Health Tip: Enjoy Beans « Weekly Sauce

Beans are easy to prepare, inexpensive and packed with nutrients.

The American Heart Association explains:

Beans are rich in fiber and minerals, but don’t contain the saturated fats found in animal products.
Eating beans may help lower cholesterol, and help you feel more full and stay full longer.
Watch for salt added in canned beans. Buy “no salt added” varieties or drain them before eating.
Eat beans on toast, with rice, in soups or salads, or in a whole-grain tortilla.
