At Kelley Bean, we are passionate about dry beans. After serving as an integral part of the human diet for thousands of years, today’s mounting dietary research points to the dry bean as one of the healthiest foods available.
Studies show that a diet including beans may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers, control blood sugar, help maintain and promote muscle, provide a sustained energy source, assist with weight management, help reduce the risk of birth defects, and serve as a critical substitute for those with food allergies. Beans allow us to explore the zest of other cultures, add diversity and color to our plates, and nourish our families with a naturally low-fat protein that everyone can afford.
Are dry beans the “King” of the superfoods? We think so!
