About Half a cup of beans
Half a cup of beans is a nutrient-dense food packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. Commonly including varieties such as black beans, kidney beans, or chickpeas, beans have a rich history in global cuisines, prominently featured in Latin American, Mediterranean, African, and Asian dishes. This serving size provides approximately 7-8 grams of protein and up to 6 grams of fiber, aiding digestion, supporting heart health, and promoting satiety. Beans are also a great source of folate, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants, which contribute to energy production, muscle health, and reducing inflammation. While generally low in fat, some canned varieties may contain added sodium, so rinsing them or choosing low-sodium options is recommended. Versatile and affordable, half a cup of beans offers a healthy foundation for soups, salads, and plant-based meals, making them a staple for balanced diets and diverse culinary traditions.
