Black Beans are a rich-flavored legume loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and other health promoting nutrients. Claims have been made that black beans can lower cholesterol and the risk of heart attacks and can even keep blood sugar levels from rising to quickly after meals, making this particular legume an ideal choice for diabetics. Here’s a quick recipe that I came up with using black beans. Enjoy!
