Lentils and Adzuki beans

In addition to these beans packing tons of protein… surprise, surprise they are loaded with fiber to aid with digestion. In fact, adzuki has been dubbed the “weight loss” bean because it is rich in soluble fibers, low in calories and contains vital nutrients such as potassium, iron, manganese, niacin and zinc. Both lentils and adzuki beans help reduce LDL cholesterol in the blood, improving the heart’s health.
