Beans are a favorite product for many. They come in red and white. What is the difference in terms of health benefits, which beans are healthier?
Experts say beans can also vary in the texture of the grains.
As for red beans, they have a denser structure, but in terms of the amount of nutrients they are not inferior to their white “colleagues”.
In other words, red and white beans contain approximately the same amount of nutrients.
Both are excellent “suppliers” of protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, and a number of other minerals and vitamins.
However, red beans still have a certain advantage over white beans.
According to scientists, this is because red beans have more antioxidants.
Another benefit is that red beans are, according to some studies, more effective when it comes to lowering cholesterol levels.
