10 Healthy Foods for Less

Over the next 9 days I'll be giving you a food a day that is a healthy choice that is not so expensive. You can use these foods to improve your health and save money doing it.

The first food is beans. Raw beans or legumes are a great source of fiber and protein. You can use them in a variety of ways, as a main course or added to salads. Canned beans are not quite as good because some of the nutrients may have been cooked out of them. So buy them raw which are less expensive and cook them yourself. The broth in which they cook is great for soups and is nutrient rich.
