Black Beans
Besides being full of good protein and fiber , black beans are a great source of a mineral called molybdenum. Molybdenum helps in detoxifying sulfites, which is a preservative found
in foods like deli salads. Sulfites can cause headaches, stomach aches, and disorientation. But even if you’re not sensitive to sulfites, black beans offer a superior edge to other beans. In a study done by the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, the darker the beans seed coat is, the higher the level of antioxidant activity. Since black is about as dark as you can get, gram for gram, black beans have the most antioxidant activity. They are also chock full of complex carbohydrates and magnesium. The fiber in black beans has been shown to naturally help lower cholesterol and help keep blood sugar from rising to rapidly after a meal. Research published in Food Chemistry and Toxicology even suggests that black beans help lower the risk for cancer!
