3) Black Beans

These are the classic beans you will find in almost every market, and it is the second richest source of dietary fiber in legumes. It is easier to find than navy beans in many countries and usually cheaper. But the difference in dietary fiber is not much, and you’ll be getting a heart-healthy food with many extra properties. The type of fiber found in black beans binds cholesterol and helps you reduce blood fat levels. These beans are also in protein, which is a good feature if you’re into bodybuilding.

You will get around 8.3 grams of fiber after eating ½ a cup of cooked black beans. You can eat them in soups, and they taste amazing in stews or casseroles. But if you want an alternative, you can also eat them with your salad or add them to your white rice.
