Why it can fit a PCOS-friendly week
Black beans are a good source of plant protein, fibre, and iron, and pairing them with eggs adds complete protein and choline. The starch in black beans is digested slowly, which can contribute to steadier blood sugar levels rather than a spike and crash. This combination fits well into a balanced breakfast pattern that supports lasting fullness through the morning.
