However, according to experts, the processing method plays an important role, deciding the benefits of this type of nut.
According to the American Heart Association, chicken beans are rich in soluble fiber, potassium and plant-based protein, components that help control blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol. When used properly, chicken beans can contribute to protecting long-term cardiovascular health.
Ms. Maya Feller, a nutritionist in the US, said: "Chicken beans, when simply prepared such as boiled, steamed or mixed with salad with a little salt, will retain their nutritional value and help control blood pressure more effectively than fried dishes.
In addition, combining chicken beans with green vegetables, olive oil, or low-sodium foods also helps increase cardiovascular protection. Conversely, if processed in crispy fried form, adding more salt or fatty sauce, the benefits of chicken beans can be significantly reduced.
Experts from Harvard Medical School recommend that a plant-rich diet such as chicken beans can help improve blood pressure if maintained regularly. However, users need to control their portion sizes and seasoning to avoid consuming too much salt.
Thus, chicken beans are not only good but also become "assistants" for the cardiovascular system if they are processed healthily and used reasonably in daily meals.
