Healthy Black Beans Recipes, Meals, and Foods for Pregnancy

Black beans are rich in fiber, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, protein, and thiamin. Black beans may boost energy, may relieve constipation, and are beneficial if you’re a mama with gestational hypertension. Black beans are a carbohydrate and therefore should be limited if you’re a mama with gestational diabetes (15-30 grams for breakfast, 30-45 grams for lunch and dinner, 15 grams for snacks).
