Among all kinds of facts about the kidney beans, one thing
is certain that they are a delight to look upon. The rich and dark saturated
reddish brown color is a perfection in itself. It can raise the appeal of your
salad to a whole new level.
Kidney beans are one rich source of proteins and
carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are present in the form of starches which are
not digested very well. This accounts for their recommended use by diabetics
because peaks of blood sugar level are absent after eating. Because of the same
reasons it is also used for the purpose of dieting or weight-loss. The same indigestible
starches account for high fiber content and may lead to flatulence and diarrhea
in some people. They are also referred to as “poor man’s meat” due to the high
protein levels. Furthermore, it is rich in a number of minerals such as
Potassium, iron, copper and vitamins as folic acid.
But I must say, be careful, raw kidney beans or the ones
which are not properly cooked are poisonous. So make sure they are well soaked
and properly cooked before reaching your plate to lose the toxic effects.
Hoping that you will enjoy your next kidney bean salad…
