Benefits Of Kidney Beans
Beans are believed to be native to
equatorial America, 7000 years ago, as archeological
indications of their use have been found in the ancient
villages. Kidney beans are very high in molybdenum, a
half cup providing nearly half of the daily requirement.
Kidney beans also provide large amounts of folate and
tryptophan. As with all dried beans, they should be
sorted and washed before cooking. Soaking ahead of time
reduces cooking time.
