10. Dried Beans
Yeah, they tend to make us gassy and bloated… But they also make us healthier! Among all food staples, beans definitely deserve a front-row seat. Being abundant in many nutrients and having a really long shelf life, dried beans are the most convenient and versatile food you can find at the grocery store.
According to the U.S. Dried Bean Council (USDBC), lima, black-eyed, dried pinto, and kidney beans can actually last for up to twelve months if stored properly in an airtight container. Keep the container away from direct sunlight in a dry and cool place like a kitchen cabinet or your pantry. Ready to give your ol’ ticker a boost with a super-healthy bean injection?
