Protein is a vital nutrient that plays a key role in maintaining and repairing your body.
Did You Know?
Beans are high in amino acids, the building blocks of protein, but not all types of beans contain all nine essential amino acids, which means beans have incomplete proteins. Only soybeans contain all nine essential amino acids, which means they have complete protein.You can combine incomplete proteins from beans with nuts, seeds, dairy products, or grains at a single meal or throughout the day to make complete proteins.
Beans and legumes are rich in plant protein, fiber, B-vitamins, iron, folate, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc. Most beans are also low in fat.
Including food sources of protein at your meals and snacks can help you meet your protein needs for the day while eating a balanced and healthy diet.
