Naturally Good: Loaded with Protein, Fiber


If you're making a pot of chili to warm your body during the chilly nights of winter, make sure to add plenty of kidney beans for taste and health. Kidney beans are low in calories and are a good source of iron and cholesterol-lowering fiber. The soluble fiber in kidney beans helps prevent blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal --- a great benefit for diabetics. When combined with whole grains such as brown rice, kidney beans supply the protein equivalent of meat or dairy (without the fat).
