Major cities across western Europe have all risen up the rankings of the most expensive locations for expatriates, mainly due to the strengthening of local currencies including the euro against the US dollar.
Beans and legumes are an inexpensive food, commonly found in diets all over the world. High in fiber, calcium, and iron, beans and legumes are also a great source of protein. Combined with high protein whole grains like buckwheat, brown rice, millet, quinoa, and teff, beans and legumes not only make a delicious meal, but often provide the full compliment of essential amino acids needed by humans.
Pinto beans -- like all other beans besides soy beans -- have a high concentration of many of the amino acids your body needs in order to synthesize vital protein-based compounds, such as tryptophan, isoleucine, valine and histidine, but they do not have enough of the other amino acids to supply your body's total protein needs.
