Beans in the eye

Little known but really delicious, these beans are a type of legume rich in properties. Easy to recognize because of the small black spot, precisely the eye, they have on the side. As already mentioned, they enjoy so many properties and are very beneficial to our bodies.

Properties and Benefits

• Rich in vitamins A, B, C;
• Rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc and selenium;

They have a low glycemic index, which ensures that they help keep blood sugar at optimal levels while helping to keep cholestrerol at bay.

They are also ideal for dieters, as they are low-calorie, contain little fat but at the same time provide a lot of fiber, thus helping to increase satiety as well as having positive effects on any intestinal problems. Black-eyed beans are widely used in American and African cuisine, traditionally eaten on the first of the year somewhat like we do with lentils because they are considered good luck charms.
