~~~LEGUMES LEGUMES LEGUMES~~~ hmmmmmm...I LOVE THEM ALL.. Legumes are plants that have edible seeds within a pod ..They include BEANS..SOYBEANS..PEAS & PEANUTS. Legumes are a rich source of incomplete PROTEIN, IRON, & the B VITAMINS THIAMIN/RIBOFLAVIN/NIACIN. When SPROUTED, they provide an excellent source of VITAMIN C. Legumes can be used as a meat (flesh) substitute because of their high but incomplete PROTEIN content.. FYI.....When coupled with a GRAIN..LEGUMES supply additional AMINO ACIDS...This coupling creates a COMPLETE PROTEIN like that found in meat (flesh) BEANS are helpful in lowering cholesterol (if consumed daily) PEAS contain antifertility agents....they are a natural CONTRACEPTIVE SOYBEANS are high in protein, calcium, iron & zinc, and they are low in fat & calories...SOY ALSO contains isoflavones, estrogenic phytonutrients that are a standard part of diets designed to balance hormones, recommended for instance during menopause or because of problems with PMS.... #RoxxxyFIT
