Nutritional properties
Organic Borlotto Beans are a very nutritious food and, like all legumes, they are a good source of vegetable protein. The proteins contained in legumes do not constitute, however, by themselves, a substitute complete with the proteins contained in meat (the so-called proteins noble), but they can increase their nutritional properties if associated, for example, with cereals. Beans are rich in fiber, so they have a laxative effect, useful in case of constipation and hemorrhoids. They also contribute to lower cholesterol, triglycerides and even blood sugar, and they are therefore indicated in cases of diabetes.
