The functions and benefits of black beans include:
1. Black beans are rich in protein, various minerals, and trace elements, especially unsaturated fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
2. Black beans have the effect of nourishing the kidneys and boosting vital energy, showing significant benefits in improving symptoms caused by kidney deficiency, such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, dizziness, and tinnitus.
3. Black beans are rich in high-quality plant protein, which positively supports muscle repair and growth.
4. Black beans also contain various minerals and B-complex vitamins, such as potassium, magnesium, and iron, which help maintain heart function, enhance immunity, and improve anemia.
5. Black beans are also rich in antioxidant substances such as vitamin E, anthocyanins, and isoflavones, which can eliminate free radicals in the body and provide anti-aging effects while enhancing immunity.
6. Black beans have a sweet taste and neutral property, acting on the spleen and kidney meridians. They function to nourish the kidneys and spleen, promote blood circulation to dispel wind, promote diuresis, and detoxify.
Black beans also contain a certain amount of phytic acid, which may affect the absorption of some minerals; therefore, moderate consumption is recommended.
