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!
