Cannellini Beans
Did you know they provide a good balance of complex carbohydrates and proteins. They provide a slow, steady source of glucose making it a great food choice for diabetics.

Also, it lowers LDL cholesterol reducing the risk of heart disease, regulates blood sugar which may reduce the onset risk or symptoms of metabolic syndrome and diabetes, and may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, and help manage diarrhea.
Cook's TIp
Do not add salt directly onto the beans as it can make their skins leathery and tough.
Season to taste after cooking and only add salt when needed; always taste beans during cooking so that you don't over cook them.
