Rich in antioxidants

Antioxidants abound in black beans. These are substances that can combat the oxidative processes connected to chronic illnesses by neutralizing free radicals. Because of this, antioxidants included in black beans may help reduce the chance of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and several forms of cancer. Black beans in particular provide a substantial quantity of polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins. Anthocyanins may provide advantages for those with type 2 diabetes. They give beans their black color and are mostly found in the seed coat. They are also in charge of giving red and pink bean cultivars their color.

Black beans also contain flavonoids, which include catechin, quercetin, myricetin, and kaempferol. These may be able to prevent heart disease and fight cancer. Be aware that boiling and storing may cause the antioxidant content of the beans to diminish, with larger losses occurring at higher temperatures. Therefore, make sure they are kept in a cold pantry.
