Why Black Beans?
Black beans are a very good source of fiber. In addition to lowering cholesterol, the high fiber content in black beans prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal. This means beans are an excellent choice for folks with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. Black beans also contain antioxidants, which are helpful in reducing the effects of aging caused by free radical damage. The antioxidant concentration in black beans is equivalent to that of cranberries and grapes.
