Beans, White

About This Food

White beans come in many forms and names but carry similar nutritional benefits and can often be interchangeable in recipes. Navy beans, Cannellini beans, and Great Northern beans are the most popular forms of white beans. They are a great source of fiber and protein, as well as folate, potassium, calcium and iron.

One major benefit white beans have over other beans is that they are one of the best plant sources of phosphatidylserine, a nutrient that supports brain functions by improving cell communications. This is vital for concentration and memory, and may be a resource to lower stress levels.
