5 REASONS TO...

ADD BROAD BEANS TO YOUR MEALS

1. They are high in fibre, which we need for healthy bowel function.

2. They are full of iron and magnesium. Iron is found in haemoglobin, which transports and stores oxygen. Magnesium is essential for healthy teeth and bones.

3. Broad beans contain vitamins E and K. Vitamin K is essential in forming clots to prevent bleeding after injury, while vitamin E helps in the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen.

4. They’re also rich in zinc for your immune system and wound healing.

5. Broad beans are low in calories too.
