  1. #BlackBeans vs. #PintoBeans: Nutrition Experts Reveal Which Is Healthier

    Both beans are healthy, but they offer different key nutrients including antioxidants, potassium, and more.

    By Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
    Published on October 29, 2025

    Key Takeaways:

    - Both black beans and pinto beans are nutrient-dense and support overall health. Each provides #PlantBasedProtein, fiber, folate, potassium, and antioxidants that can help lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

    - Black beans stand out for their antioxidant and gut health benefits. Their dark pigment is rich in #anthocyanins and phenolic compounds that help regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy gut bacteria.

    - Pinto beans edge ahead in mineral content and heart health support. They contain more potassium, #calcium, and #folate than black beans, which can help manage blood pressure and protect the heart and kidneys—making both beans valuable for different health goals."

  5. What is the major role of anthocyanins—painting flowers, acting as sunscreens, responding to stress, or defending against pathogens?

    Our latest paper dives into the diversity and ecological functions of anthocyanins 🌈🌿

  8. Excited to share our new #preprint!

    Large-scale Phylogenomics Reveals Systematic Loss of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Genes at the Family Level in #Cucurbitaceae
    🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.06.680

    We uncover family-level losses of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis genes — shedding light on the evolution of pigment diversity in cucurbits.

    #Clockwork continues to produce the best animated mini-essays in #biochemistry.

    This episode is all about the dramatic molecular evacuation and bunkering down procedures that plants need to go through to survive long harsh winters without leaves. The famous colours of autumn leaves belie the intense molecular recycling process that keeps the most precious parts of a tree safe while it winters.
