Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Boiled mature black beans are strongly recommended during pregnancy as a premier vegetarian staple. They supply high amounts of folate, non-heme iron, and soluble fiber, which help build maternal blood cells and prevent constipation. Boil soaked dry beans vigorously to ensure easy digestibility and complete lectin destruction. Pair with bell peppers or lime juice to increase non-heme iron absorption.
