BEANS 
While beans are a nutritional powerhouse, high in fibre, protein, and powerful antioxidants, one of the best reasons for eating beans is the benefit to the environment.

Growing beans actually adds nitrogen to the soil instead of depleting it, and replacing animal protein with beans and legumes
