URBAN KITCHEN PANTRY: Black Beans

Black beans are the unsung hero of the superfood world.

A good source of protein, fibre, and vitamin B, they are packed with magnesium that keeps your brain cells to be in tip-top condition. A 1 cup serving of cooked black beans contains an impressive 120 mg of magnesium, which is 30% of the RDI.

High in potassium and iron, and they’re a major source of protein, rich in fibre, have a low glycemic index, and  may lower cholesterol, improve blood sugar control and decrease heart disease risk.
