“White Bean Flour”
According to nutritionist Renata Ramos in an interview with the website (www.minhavida.com.br), white bean flour is a source of phaseolamine that reduces the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. As phaseolamine is a protein, it is denatured when cooked. Therefore, to make better use of its benefits, the best way to consume this food is in the form of flour. White bean flour quickly gained fame for promoting weight loss and lowering blood sugar levels. However, even though it is a nutritious food, it should be consumed in moderation, because raw beans contain toxins that, if consumed in large quantities, can cause diarrhea and flatulence.
Its consumption should not exceed a maximum of 30 to 40 days and just one spoonful of coffee before lunch. Recipe suggestion below:
