Black beans or pinto beans - is one nutritionally better than the other?!
I keep seeing mentions on-line about how black beans are supposed to be a 'superfood'!. Is there a particular reason they're nutritionally superior to pinto beans, or is it just that beans in general are healthy for you, or is it just marketing hype!? Www@FoodAQ@Com
