The following are some healthy tips that you can use when buying and preparing beans:
  • When buying refried beans, make sure that the beans are marked as vegetarian, as these products do not contain lard.
  • When using canned beans, make sure to rinse the beans in a strainer upon opening them. This will reduce the sodium content of the beans by about 40 percent.
  • Do not forget that peas, string beans, and green beans are also members of the legume family. These options can be easily added to most dinners and salads to help you include beans into your diet.
  • Try to eat a variety of beans, as different bean colors means that different polyphenols are present. These phytonutrients have antioxidant properties and help to fight against free radicals.
