Black Beans
 

Benefits: If you're wondering how to replace meat in your menus, enjoy the rich taste of black beans. They are a good source of protein, and when combined with a whole grain such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice, provide protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods. Black beans are also rich in dietary fibre. For this reason, black beans and other beans are helpful foods for people with diabetes.
Best Eaten boiled – mixed with salad.
