Beans, beans the magical fruit! If you're wondering how to replace meat in your menus, enjoy the rich taste of black beans. They are a good source of protein, and when combined with a whole grain such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice, provide protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods.
Black beans are also as rich in antioxidant compounds as cranberries, a fruit considered an antioxidant superstar. It has been found that the darker the bean's seed coat, the higher its level of antioxidant activity. In addition to providing slow burning complex carbohydrates, black beans can increase your energy by helping to replenish your iron stores.
