BEANS are some of my favorites to cook with. Cooking them over the stove could be long. Yet a nifty solution is a pressure cooker that cooks even hard beans in a matter of minutes.
This recipe can be made with cannellini or white kidney beans – your choice. Either way, you will end up with a delicious meal that is filling and flavorful and bursting with many health benefits that come from eating beans.
White beans and cannellini are a great source of antioxidants, iron and dietary fiber. Such nutrients like vitamin K and minerals like copper, phosphorous, calcium, manganese, potassium and molybdenum are the essential part of internal chemical reactions that take part on the cell level. All need to be present to ensure a balanced functioning of our bodies.
As all beans are rich in fiber, some of them have more of this amazing dietary material. White beans have more fiber than red kidney beans and can reduce the risk of many cancers and other potential killers, including brain aneurysms.
Eating beans is good all year round!
