There are many arguments and results about the positive effects of beans on the human body and in favor of their consumption. Research has found that those who eat more leguminous vegetables will be less exposed to the risk of heart disease - this may be related to the phyto-chemicals found in beans, among other things. Nutrition experts recommend consuming legumes as often as possible, because in addition to being delicious, healthy, and "doing" a lot for us, they also contain a wide range of natural substances that protect against cancer. Beans provide us with water-soluble fiber as well as saponins and phytosterols, which help lower blood cholesterol levels. Research has established that consuming 10 grams of water-soluble fiber per day (about 200-250 grams of beans contains this amount) can reduce the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood by up to 10 percent compared to the baseline value. White salad beans are one of the most popular and well-known types of beans.

People have been growing and eating legumes for a long time, as evidenced by archaeological finds from Mexico and South America. Growing beans is part of human culture and history. In ancient Egypt, beans were revered not only as food, but also as a symbol. The popularity of the plant grew unstoppably over time: through Indian traders, it was introduced to parts of South and Central America suitable for cultivation, from where it came to Africa and later to Asia, which also has a long history of bean consumption. Today, India and China are among the largest bean growing countries. The plant reached Hungary in the 16th century and its popularity has been unbroken ever since. Purple salad beans are a particularly popular choice, loved by both young and old. Legumes, including beans, are also very nutritious: they contain proteins, carbohydrates and fats. They also have multiple healing properties.
