White Kidney Bean (1% Phaseoline)

History:

The White Kidney Bean is an herbaceous, bushy, climbing annual that is one of many varieties of common beans, which were domesticated independently in ancient Mesoamerica and the Andes and is an oval-shaped, somewhat soft and bland-tasting legume that is indigenous to Central and South America. It is said that all beans are derived from a common bean ancestor that originated in Peru. From there, they were spread throughout South and Central America by migrating Indian tribes. Archaeological evidence has proven that bean seeds were domesticated 7,500 years ago, long before maize was cultivated and long before pottery making. Despite these early beginnings, cultivated beans as a staple crop took a long time to spread through the Americas, but finally became a domesticated food staple in both North and South America by the 1400s. Beans were introduced into Europe in the fifteenth century by Spanish explorers returning from their voyages to the New World, and by the mid-1500s, cultivars were thriving throughout Europe. Thereafter, it is said that Portuguese explorers introduced them to Africa, where they have remained an important food staple. The English first used the name "kidney bean" in 1551, to distinguish our American common bean from others. The flavor of the White Kidney Bean is more delicate than its red counterpart and often used in recipes where the red variety would be too pronounced. It is always important to boil all kidney beans before eating to remove toxins that would cause extreme gastric disturbances, but perhaps the easiest way to acquire the wonderful benefits from the White Kidney Bean is to take a dietary supplement in capsule form. Some of the constituents in White Kidney Beans include a high starch content, proteins (isozymes), rich dietary fiber, phaseoline, albumen mucilage, pectic acid, legumin fatty matter, inosite, sulfur, an uncrystallizable sugar, and it is also an excellent source of iron, potassium, selenium, molybdenum, magnesium, folate and B-vitamins.
