  3. #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."

  19. 🌾 New #preprint!
    "Evolutionary Rewiring of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Pathway in Poaceae" 🎨

    We show how grasses have independently restructured their anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway via:
    🔹 Gene loss
    🔹 Regulatory shifts
    🔹 Convergent evolution

    A case study in how flexible plant metabolic pathways really are.

  21. CW: Food, anthocyanins, midnight snack

    I ordered some dry aronia berries, aka chokeberries, because they are super high in anthocynanins. They arrived in a delivery tis weekend.

    I'm trying them now for the first time in some oatmeal with goji berries, longan, and chopped dates, plus salt and caradmom.

    They are pleasant and quite edible!

    This is not their ideal setting though so I shall continue to experiment.

    All in all, a good first foray. I'm happy.

    #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.

    I found this today when looking for a reference about non-responders to blueberry flavonols. I'm sharing the link in a separate post since it has a really wonderful literature review.
