Pinto beans

In Mexico, pinto beans are widely used, they're frequently eaten whole or mashed and fried. Pinto beans are high in vitamins and minerals, and they may also have a number of health benefits.

Pinto beans are high in dietary fiber, which has been linked to better blood sugar regulation and gut health. They are high in polyphenols and flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants protect your cells from free radical damage, which is caused by unstable molecules that can lead to disease over time. Pinto beans are very high in kaempferol, a flavonoid that has been linked to a variety of health benefits. Many animal and test-tube studies have linked it to cancer growth inhibition.
