Healthy, because
With only 33 calories per 100 grams, beans are a real lightweight - and a good source of fibre, carbohydrates, iron, magnesium and calcium. The vitamins B2, B6, C and E as well as provitamin A and folic acid make the fine vegetables even more of a fitness food.
Even smarter
Good thing beans don't taste good raw: The harmful protein phasine is only destroyed by cooking. You can cook beans until they are firm to the bite, but you should allow them at least 8-10 minutes cooking time, depending on their thickness.
