History:-
Black beans were first domesticated thousands of years ago
in Peru, and quickly became a staple of the South American diet. They first
came to Europe in the 1500s.
Health benefits:-
Digestive Tract
Protein and fiber in this bean aids in quick movement in intestines; this
supports the digestive track in working less harder and keeps it healthy.
Blood Sugar Regulation
The steady movement of protein and fiber through the digestive system allows
for a measured breakdown of food into its component parts. This even breakdown
of food helps to curtail sugar levels (high or low)
Cardiovascular Health &
anit-cancer prevention
Regulates cholesterol level…..
High in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory values. Black beans are also high in folate and
magnesium, both nutrients highly associated with preservation of cardiovascular
health, and the antioxidant minerals zinc and manganese.
Nervous System Health
Folate, or vitamin B6, is particularly abundant in black beans. The nervous
system relies on folate to produce the amino acids it needs to function. For
pregnant women a deficiency in folate can cause the improper development of the
fetus’s brain and spinal cord. The high iron content of black beans is also
particularly beneficial to pregnant women.
