Legumes

Legumes are nutrient-dense plants. When we say legumes, we’re talking about lentils, beans, chickpeas, peas, and soybeans. They are very rich in all kinds of nutrients, magnesium included. For example, a 1-cup serving of cooked black beans might come with 120 mg of magnesium, which is no less than 29% of the daily value.

Legumes are also very high in potassium and iron and are a great source of protein for vegetarians. What’s also great about legumes is that they’re super rich in fiber, but they have a low glycemic index (GI), which can only help lower cholesterol levels, and improve blood sugar control, but also reduce the risk of heart disease.

A fermented soybean product which is commonly known as natto is also an excellent source of vitamin K2, which is extremely important for bone health.
