Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I found this on the " world's healthiest foods " website - http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=george & dbid=72 : " Black beans also contain small amounts (about 180 milligrams per cup) of omega 3 fatty acids. This amount is about three times that available from many other beans, including kidney beans. While the amount of omega 3 fats in one cup of black beans is roughly equal to the amount in one ounce of a cold water fish like halibut, it's still a valuable addition to your meal plan since omega 3 fats are essential to protecting our health. " Is the bio-availability of these fatty acids in black beans equivalent to animal sources such as fish? What other plant sources are there? bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
