Perspective from Victoria Andrews

Benefits

  • There is some evidence to suggest hyacinth bean may improve diarrhoea and stomach cramps, however, further research is needed to clarify this claim.
  • Hyacinth beans are great source of iron. Iron is needed to transport oxygen within cells, iron deficiency is associated with fatigue and low energy levels.
  • Hyacinth beans are high in copper, which is essential for brain pathways which help maintain mood and focus.

Quantity Recommendation

  • Hyacinth beans can be included in the diet, from their high vitamin and mineral component, however, are not recommended to be consumed raw from cyanogenic glycoside content.

 Perspective from Lucía Ramos

Benefits

  • Hyacinth bean is effective in reducing the risk of colon cancer. Legumes contain a type of fiber that in the colon generates short chain fatty acids. Those fatty acids helps the colon microbiota and feeds beneficial bacteria.

Quantity Recommendation

  • As a legume, hyacinth beans could be eaten once a day. Those who aren't used to eat legumes should gradually increase their portions to avoid gastrointestinal symptoms such as flatulence.
