Black Chickpeas Kidney Navy Pinto
Black - Rich in anthocyanins, the same heart disease and cancer fighting antioxidants that are found in grapes and cranberries.
Garbanzo (Chickpeas) - A recent study found that a chochpea-fortified diet slashed "bad" LDL cholesterol levels by almost 5%.
Kidney - The thiamin (Vitamin B) in this bean protects memory and brain function, a deficiency has been linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Navy - Potassium regulates blood pressure and normal heart contractions.
Pinto - Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar, lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Surprisingly, red, pinto, and kidney beans are the highest antioxidant food, beating out both blueberries and cramberries.
