Description

Honey bean is a very common food in Nigeria. It is one of the richest food in the world, and some of its health benefits includes its richness in folate, manganese, potassium, Vitamin B6, zinc and fibre.

Brown beans can be boiled before consumption, or can be switched into porridge beans where they are cooked in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes with palm oil, onion, and crawfish. They can be used to make Akara (bean fritters), Moi-Moi (bean pudding), and Gbegiri (bean soup). They are high in protein and fiber.

Research also shows that beans lower blood pressure and that a single serving of beans a day can reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol by 5 percent
