This has been the food that saved me from, long war with finding the most stable food that also filled specific criteria such as,
• Easy to cook
• Healthy of course
• Cheap ( Let’s be honest as soon as the word healthy comes in the brand name the price jumps)
• Can be stored for few days normally 3-4 days for me after i have cooked them.
• Availability, I do not want have to go special store to find it or market.
• I can make them in different ways, while still have it as the core meal, ( soup, stew, and some odd mornings with eggs.)
• I can mix with other things to get even more out of it without losing anything.
And this and few other beans fit those, the first was Monk beans which I loved, but they didn’t last long in the fridge and could be a bit boring over time, but oddly haven’t had that problem with Navy Beans. I will do another report on millet another great stable food. Its my replacement for rice at this point.

Health Benefits
Navy beans are an excellent source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, navy beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as brown rice, navy beans provide virtually fat-free high quality protein. But this is far from all navy beans have to offer. Navy beans are a very good source of folate and manganese and a good source of protein and vitamin B1 as well as the minerals phosphorus, copper, magnesium and iron.
