Beans

Most bean varieties, including kidney, black, pinto, and others, are important staple foods that are high in protein per serving. Garbanzo beans, or chickpeas, are another kind of bean with high protein content.

The majority of bean varieties have 15 g of protein per cooked cup (170 grams). They are also great sources of fiber, iron, folate, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, complex carbohydrates, iron, and other healthy plant compounds. A diet high in beans and other legumes can also help manage blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and even reduce belly fat, according to a number of studies. Making a delicious bowl of homemade chili is a great way to incorporate beans into your diet. Roasted chickpeas can also be enhanced with a dash of turmeric for additional health benefits.
