dried beans

Eat more beans and lentils

For starters, beans are plant proteins, so they’re easier on the planet than red meat, poultry, and dairy. And they’re vitamin and mineral overachievers. It’s not just fiber and protein. Beans are also packed with potassium, magnesium, folate, zinc, and iron. Is that a bargain, or what?

lentils

Easy beans you can stash in your pantry, freezer, & fridge

When we say beans, of course, we mean beans, lentils, chickpeas, and split peas. All legumes are superstars. They’re a solid source of fiber and plant protein.

Here are some of our favorite supermarket finds for a quick and easy meal.
