Some of my early memories of beans is of my mother feeding bowling of sous pwa (bean puree) to my baby brother. This is one way to eat beans or you can eat it accompanied with rice, alone as a soup garnished with sour cream or even with some bread. Beans are a great source of protein, fiber and iron.
