The beans, properties and caloric values

Among the legumes, the beans seem to be less heat. For many centuries have been regarded as the food of the poor. On the market are either dry or fresh. These can be eaten as is or with cheese or bread. Those are instead boiled dry.

Contain:

- Protein
- Iron (I think that those dry contain more eggs)
- Fiber (150 g of beans even manages to provide almost 1 / 3 of all the fiber we need daily)
- Minerals
- Vitamins
- Iron

The fresh beans contain a substance called L-dopa, which seems to be able to increase the concentration of dopamine in the brain.

Recall that the beans are given to combat anemia. However, some people can produce it. We are talking of favism, which is a real form of anemia due to genetic deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which serves to protect the red blood cells from oxidative stress.
