Beans are one of the most fertility friendly foods. Not only are they low in fat and packed with protein, fiber and important nutrients, but they also contain a high percentage of folate, which boosts fertility in both men and women and helps prevent certain birth defects.
This easy-to-make bean recipe, courtesy of my husband Pierre, makes for a great side dish or healthy snack, and can be served hot or cold. It's also full of flavor! Try it.
