Why Black and Kidney beans? (http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/12/13/what-is-the-healthiest-of-all-beans.htm)
Black Beans: Also referred to as turtle beans, black beans are loaded with antioxidants and fiber, and are an excellent source of high-quality protein.

Kidney Beans: Along with lots of fiber and protein, kidney beans are an excellent source of the trace mineral, molybdenum. This mineral helps detoxify sulfites, a type of preservative added to many foods (and to which many people are sensitive), from the body.
