Ask A Nutritionist: Which Bean Is Best For Us?
I am obsessed with fibre (nice to meet you, by the way).
The carbohydrate has, after all, been linked to better heart health and a decreased risk of dementia and bowel cancer. Sadly, 90% of us don’t get the recommended 30g a day needed to reap fibre’s benefits.
As a part of my “fibremaxxing” quest, I’ve been enjoying loads of bean-based meals. Seems I’m not alone, either: celeb chefs like Jamie Oliver have taken part in the Bang In Some Beans campaign, which urged customers to add more legumes to their meals.
