Benefits of Beans

Thursday, October 16, 3:30 p.m.

Did you know beans count as both a protein and a vegetable serving? They contribute over nine essential nutrients.  Studies show that people who regularly consume beans have lower cholesterol levels and body weights. And, when consumed at least four times a week, beans result in a 22% lower risk for coronary heart disease. In addition to being great for your health, beans are easy on the budget. Join Hy-Vee dietitian, Sarah, on Thursday, October 16th, as she discusses several ways to use beans and shows shoppers how to make a quick Chicken Taco Soup. No pre-registration required.
