Beans are great for more than just your heart. The meatless protein source, which can be used to make a hearty game day chili or a veggie burger base, provides plenty of magnesium (for energy) and iron (for metabolism, growth and healing). White beans contain more than 50 percent of your daily needs for magnesium and almost half the day’s goal for iron. Try white beans in your chili or sub them into your favorite homemade hummus recipe.
