Beans, which are technically legumes, are an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber. They’re also packed with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients the body needs. It’s no surprise that beans and other legumes are commonly eaten all over the world and a staple food of many cuisines. Beans are cheap and versatile, lending themselves to a variety of delicious dishes.
