Beans are a wonderful way to add high-quality, plant-based protein to your diet. They are high in iron, B vitamins and fiber, and are versatile enough that you may never tire of them. Beans stay fresh longer when stored in a cool, dark place (rather than on your countertop). Don't use beans that are more than a year old, their nutrient content and digestibility are much lower.

Green vegetables are the food most missing in modern diets. Learning to cook and eat greens is essential to creating health. When you nourish yourself with greens they naturally crowd out the foods that make us sick. Greens help build your internal rain forest and strengthen blood and respiratory systems. They are especially good for city people who rarely see fields of green. Green is associated with spring, time of renewal, refreshing, and vital energy. In oriental medicine green is related to liver, emotional stability and creativity.
