Beans and other legumes just may be the vegetarian’s and vegan’s best friends. Pinto, kidney, red, pink, Great Northern, lima…no matter which one you choose, you’ll be picking a winner. Beans — as well as other legumes such as peas, lentils and peanuts — are amazing sources of protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates as well as a variety of vitamins and minerals. Add to this their relatively low calorie count, and you’ve got a healthy staple for your vegetarian diet.
