Black beans are a healthy addition to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets. Their health benefits come from a few different components, including protein, fiber, antioxidants and micronutrients. These nutritious and tasty legumes are available dried or canned, and both types are equally nutritious. The fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin B6, and phytonutrient content of black beans, coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support heart health. This fiber helps lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood and decrease the risk of heart disease.
