Nutrition News:

This semester, Dining Services is introducing Furmano’s low sodium beans. Beans are a great source of protein and soluble fiber. They are also low in fat, free of saturated and trans fats. Beans are found at the fusion station, in the salad bar, and in many recipes such as soups and main dishes.

Red Kidney beans, found in soups and chilis, are a good source of antioxidants and magnesium. Black beans, found at the salad bar and taco station, are good sources of folic acid, iron, potassium, and magnesium.

White beans, found in soups, are a good source of calcium. Garbanzo beans (chick peas), are found in soups, recipes, and the salad bar are a good source of iron and calcium.

Add some to your diet each day.
