Celebrating National Bean Day – January 6 - is easy:
simply eat beans, in all shapes and sizes if possible.
Christina Baskerville is managing director of Easy Bean - - Easy Bean
was established in 2007.
She says: “Easy Bean meals are high in protein,
fibre and low in. Research shows that eating beans can help control weight. Mt meals are all natural, low in calories and contain two to three of
your five-a-day vegetable portions.”
The Easy Bean range gourmet meal pots are: New Mexican
Chilli, Moroccan Tagine, French Cuisinées, Indian Sambar Dhal, African Palava
and Spanish Puchero, plus seasonal special Pasta e Fagioli.
Different beans are featured in each of the recipes.
The origin of National bean Day is unclear although
January 6 may have bean chosen because it commemerates the death in 1884 of Gregor
Mendel, the Austrian botanist whose pioneering work on the science of genetics
involved teasting garden peas.
