You might think that since New Year's is over, there are no more holidays to celebrate for a while, but you're wrong: today is National Bean Day! For thousands of years, legumes have served as a staple ingredient to virtually every culture in the world because they're nutritious, healthy, and affordable.
As Americans become increasingly conscious of their waistlines and their spending, I predict that the country's obsession with beans will continue to grow.
