Stewed Pork Knuckles with Black Beans [Good nourishment in autumn]

Overview

In the past, soybeans were used to stew pork knuckles. Today I wanted to stew pork knuckles with black beans to see the difference in taste. After stewing, the texture is indeed different. Pork trotters stewed with black beans taste more fragrant than those stewed with soybeans. Both soybeans and black beans have good nutrition. According to research, the protein content in black beans is as high as 36%-40%, which is equivalent to 2 times that of meat, 3 times that of eggs, and 12 times that of milk; black beans contain 18 kinds of amino acids, especially 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body; black beans also contain 19 kinds of oleic acid, with an unsaturated fatty acid content of 80% and an absorption rate of over 95%. In addition to meeting the body's need for fat, it also has the effect of lowering blood cholesterol. Black beans basically contain no cholesterol and only contain plant sterols. Phytosterols are not absorbed and utilized by the human body. They also inhibit the body's absorption of cholesterol and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. Therefore, regular consumption of black beans can soften blood vessels, moisturize the skin, and delay aging. It is especially beneficial to patients with high blood pressure and heart disease. In addition to stewing meat, black beans can also be used to make soup, grind black soy milk, etc. Beans are very nutritious, but they should be eaten in moderation. If you eat too many beans or eat them regularly, the purine content in the human body will increase. After the purine is oxidized in the human body, it will turn into uric acid. Excessive uric acid in the human body will cause gout. So it must be consumed in moderation.
