How you bean? Me? Terrific! Today
is National BEAN Day! Oh, how there are so many other terrible “bean” jokes
that I could mention! All jokes aside, lets talk a bit about why beans are so great. Beans are a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
These are all important to keeping you regular and healthy. There are also many
varieties of beans (approximately 40 000!), which make them very versatile for
cooking with. They are good in a salad, soup, or baked with some molasses
and mixed with hotdogs! Beans can be a meat substitute and are relatively easy
to grow (…unless you’re me). The benefits of consuming beans are tremendous, so
add a variety or two to your diet!
Along with these amazing health benefits, beans have bean the source of many a good joke, endless children's giggles, and silly songs! Let's be honest, beans provide us with some nasty, and sometimes entertaining sounds and smells. And, with the generally unpleasant smells in mind, it's rather strange that today also happens to be National Cuddle Up Day. So, unless you REALLY love the person you plan to cuddle up with, I suggest you hold off on the beans. ...at least until you've finished the snuggle-fest!
Well, now that we’ve bean there, done that,
why not take a moment to tell us your favorite type of bean?!
