Description
Pinto beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fibre, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, pinto beans' high fibre content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as brown rice, pinto beans provide virtually fat-free, high quality protein.
