| Dry beans contain enough protein to be included in the protein foods or meat group of the Food Guide Pyramid. Dry beans contain no cholesterol, little fat, and lots of fiber and complex carbohydrates. |
See our family cookbook for great recipes for you and your family. Visit our resources page for more information on being healthy and raising healthy children. |
|

| Since it is suggested that you have two servings of the combined protein group a day, you could eat 1 serving of legumes and 1 of meat, fish, or poultry. | |||||
|
|
Serving beans with foods such as rice, bread, cereal, pasta, cornbread or tortillas, any meat, or milk product will provide a complete protein.
|
||||
| Together these foods provide a complete protein your body can absorb and use to build skin, bones, hair, blood, and so on. |
