White beans or better known as navy beans, are a profound source of complex carbohydrates, protein, phyto-nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. They were heavily used by the U.S. Navy in the 19th century (hence where the name came from) for a quick resource of virtually complete nutrition. White beans can be eaten regularly (unless you react negatively to them) and can help boost most anyone's overall health status.
