Beans get good reviews: also good for the heart?

Beans are increasingly being labeled as a superfood. However, according to experts, not enough of them are eaten in Belgium. Michaël Sels, an expert cited by HLN, points to potential benefits for heart health.

The popularity of beans is increasing, also due to their nutritional value. They are full of fiber and protein, and according to Sels, they can have a positive effect on the heart. However, consumption remains below the recommendations, according to the article.

In other countries, beans have been popular in the kitchen for longer. In Belgium, the trend does not seem to have fully taken hold yet. Sels advocates for more awareness of the benefits of this food.
