A nationwide movement toward fiber-rich diets is introducing more Americans to the diverse world of legumes, as industry leaders set ambitious consumption targets for the coming decade.
The current emphasis on dietary fiber is encouraging consumers to explore the extensive variety of beans available, according to industry observers. This nutritional trend is coinciding with the U.S. bean industry’s goal to double American pulse consumption by 2030.
The push reflects growing awareness of the nutritional benefits and affordability that beans offer to consumers seeking healthier dietary options.
