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.
