What it does

Same legume family as lentils — the strongest food-longevity signal we have.

Where the number comes from

Beans & chickpeas sits in the legumes group of the Fadnes model, the only peer-reviewed model that converts eating into years of life. The lifetime gain for that group is spread across the days you actually eat it — a daily serving from age 20 to 80 — which gives +56 min per serving. The authors rate the evidence behind this group as moderate.
