When shopping at your neighborhood grocery store or supermarket, there are a variety of types of beans to choose from, thus everyone can find a type of bean that they enjoy. Some varieties of beans include:

Black beans
Kidney beans
Pinto beans
Green beans
Garbanzo beans
Cannellini beans
Fava beans
Navy beans
Refried beans

When shopping for fresh beans, it is important to find a place that has good turnover. Beans that are not fresh tend to be very tough, even when fully cooked. Since old beans bear no physical differences from new beans, it is important to use fresh and dried beans soon after buying them. If this seems like a problem, then the alternative to this is to buy canned beans. Canned beans have a much longer shelf life than fresh and dried beans. These beans are also very easy to prepare. Just open the can and enjoy! The one caveat to solely using canned beans is that canned beans contain high amounts of sodium. Look for canned beans that are marked as low sodium, as this is a better option.

What is a “Super Food”?

Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for!

These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life.

If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life!

These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers.

When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status.

This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.

So click around and find recipes and tips on how to incorporate these foods in your daily diet.
