The 10 easiest ways to include legumes in your diet
It's Pulses Week and this year I’ve teamed up with The Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council and we are keeping it easy!
We cover:
10 easiest ways to include legumes (beans/peas) in your diet
One-liners you don’t want to miss:
“Legumes support a healthy gut, help improve overall health, are full of key nutrients like protein and fibre and reduce risk of chronic disease.”
“1 cup of cooked peas provides 8g of protein and because it is a plant protein, also provides fibre, about 8g. In terms of micronutrients, just to name a few - peas contain iron, zinc, vitamin C and vitamin K. “
“Now it doesn’t get much easier than canned legumes. Crack the can, drain the liquid and you have your beans. One of the easiest ones for forming a dish is the four bean mix can. I mean, who doesn’t love a 2 for 1 let alone a 4 for 1.”
