For centuries, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has taught that the colors of foods reflect their healing powers. Beans are one of the most striking examples, with each color corresponding to one of the body’s organ systems. Choosing the right bean may not only add variety to your plate but also support your heart, liver, digestion, lungs, kidneys, and even emotional balance. Modern research is beginning to echo these traditional insights, showing that beans benefit health in diverse ways.
