Benefits of Black Beans

I love adding black beans to my recipes because they’re a healthy complex carbohydrate that is high in fiber and protein; they have minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins. This type of complex carb also feeds your good gut bacteria and won’t spike your blood sugar, so they’re the perfect meal builder and protein add-in for any recipe!
