Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Boiled pinto beans are strongly recommended during pregnancy as an outstanding source of folate. One cup provides more than a quarter of the daily prenatal folate requirement, alongside plant iron, potassium, and fiber. Boil soaked pinto beans thoroughly until tender to ensure digestibility and eliminate natural bean lectins. Season with cumin and lime juice for traditional bean dishes.
