Health Benefits of Beans - Green or yellow Roma beans have the same nutritional benefits as other common beans such as string beans, lima beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and navy beans. Common beans are low in fat and offer an excellent source of protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates. They are also a very good source of folic acid and molybdenum. They provide significant amounts of iron, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and potassium.

 

The major health benefit of common beans is their ability to lower cholesterol due to their rich source of fiber. Studies have shown the high fiber contained in beans prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal. This makes beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia.
