Beans is a good source of protein, and protein is a body builder, with good quality of strength and energy,ending in secretion of amino acid that is also good for human skin. But despite all these nutritive properties of beans as one of African staple foods,most people still don't really like consuming it and thus making rice 2 be far preferred to it especially by women. I often wonder why?

Because they don't know better. Beans all the way.

Can you blame those who prefer rice to beans? For one, beans causes bloating and constipation in quite a number of people, my humble self included. Rice doesn't. Rice is more physically appealing to the eye, again beans isn't. Abeg, make we leave matter. Let those who love beans eat beans and let those who love rice stick with rice. Shikena!

Personally i like beans, and anything made from beans, so i dont understand why people dont like it, but one reason might be that it take longer to cook, two, it has a taste as against rice that is relatively bland except stewed or tossed, and anyone can get used to the rice taste, but for beans, you have to like the taste, or at least get to like it, and as already mentioned, it digests slower than rice, and gives the gas, and sometimes the runs, which could be inconveniencing. But its not bad at all to include a bit of it in meals. One could also try baked beans, thats milder.

i LOVE RICE
Last night i dreamt i was eating a BIG pot of rice... When i woke up my pillow was gone. LoL
