Beans
Beans are a wonderful way to add high-quality, plant-based protein to your diet. They are high in iron, B vitamins and fiber, and are versatile enough that you may never tire of them. Always soak your beans overnight to aid in digestibility and reduce acidity in the body. Also, if you have problems digesting beans, try cooking them with a small piece of kombu (seaweed), or pour a little apple cider into the water in the last stages of cooking. This softens the beans and breaks down protein chains and indigestible compounds
