BLACK-EYED BEAN

Sorry? A kidney bean on your ears? What next? But it’s not just any old variety, but the legendary black-eyed bean, whose properties have been known for centuries in Latin America and are simply endless: their high fibre content lowers cholesterol and their folates prevent cardiovascular diseases; they’re a nutrient-rich source of protein; they slow down cellular ageing; and they reduce the risk of anaemia. What’s more, due to their richness in potassium, they’re perfect for people with high blood pressure and also favour bowel transit. So, what do you think of the idea now? Does it sound better?
