Black beans are rich in a certain mineral you may not be familiar with but should be…​Molybdenum. This mineral’s actions are mainly in the production of enzymes, proteins that trigger chemical reactions in the body.

This essential mineral is a trace element mainly found in the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, bones and skin, but it exists in all body tissues.
