Health notes

Red beans are a good source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. The FDA considers beans to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO's JECFA have evaluated beans and their components, but do not set specific ADIs for whole foods like beans. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of beans is associated with positive health outcomes, including improved blood sugar control and heart health, as part of a balanced diet.
