Beans are a great way to have a balanced vegan diet because they’re rich in protein, fibre, iron and a good source of lysine. Lysine is an essential nutrient.
It is an amino acid responsible for muscle turnover and normal growth, and it is also responsible for transporting fat cells in your body to be used as energy.
Beans are a lysine-rich plant-based food source, and baked beans are a tasty and simple way to include them in your diet.
Whether they are served on toast or in a jacket potato our homemade baked beans makes a healthy vegan meal.
