We here at WellBean think the world would be a better place if people would just eat more beans. That's right, beans are delicious and nutritious, and they make your colon happy!
In fact, did you know that a high intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds is linked to significantly lower risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and type 2 diabetes 1,2? Despite that, only about 8% of American adults eat beans daily 3.
Are you one of the 92% who don’t eat beans daily? Maybe this will change your mind. Legumes provide fiber, protein, carbohydrate, B vitamins, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and phosphorous 4.
Furthermore, beans are naturally low in fat, almost free of saturated fat, and because they are plant foods, they are cholesterol free as well. One-half cup of beans has 7–9 g of fiber, 8 g of protein, and only 1 g of fat. Legumes also have a low glycemic index, generally ranging between 10 and 40.
It's just for you 92% that we developed WellBean, the world's first whole-food, bean-based snack bar. Now you can quickly and easily get in a serving of beans (and as a bonus, a serving of fruit!)--without the 8-hour pre-soak.
