The best way to eat beans is in healthy colourful salads, combined with different cooked and/or raw vegetables, plus nuts or some cereal such as rice or quinoa. This is a very healthy option, but not the only one. In winter, beans can be included in warm preparations such as stews, hamburgers, veggie tacos or wraps and more! Beans can also be used in spreads by processing them and obtaining a creamy consistency.
