Foods in the Bible - Beans, Nutritional Information
  
Packed with fiber, an excellent source of
carbohydrates, iron rich - beans are a stellar food when it comes to dieting. A
single serving has the power to tame your appetite for hours.
A one-cup serving of 'Pinto Beans' has only about 240
calories! They are not only filling, they also contain nerve-soothing B
vitamins, more than 2/3 of a day's folate requirements, a good dose of fiber and
are iron-rich. There's more! A study has indicated that men who included pinto
beans and other high-fiber foods in their diet obtained as much as a 60-point
reduction in their total cholesterol.
Some other varieties of beans to try are green beans,
wax beans, soybeans, miso beans, winged beans, yard-long beans, kidney beans,
navy beans, lima beans, pink beans, French beans, Great Northern beans,
broadbeans, black beans, garbanzo beans, jumping beans (huh?) - the list is
almost er....endless! Bean sprouts are another option for your diet plan and
can be grown on your kitchen window sill.
