Product Details

Like most beans, black-eyed beans are rich in the best sort of fibre - soluble fibre - which helps to eliminate cholesterol from the body. They are a good source of foliate, potassium, copper, phosphorous and manganese. As a high-potassium, low-sodium food they help reduce blood pressure. Not only are they low in fat, but when combined with grains, beans supply high quality protein which provides a healthy alternative to meat or other animal protein.

Tips

- Wed 6th Jul 2011
These are great served with their stock on toasted wholemeal pittas dressed with herbs. The bread soaks up all the juices but doesn't disintegrate, it's like the middle-eastern version of beans on toast and is very tasty.
