In fact, beans contain a rich diversity in nutrients, highlightingtheir high protein, starch and fiber content. Canary Islands have a considerable diversity of beans, including three of the five cultivatedspecies of Phaseolus: P. coccineus, P. lunatus and P. vulgaris, the latter being the most cultivated.Methods: Proximate composition, total phenolics, pH, acidity, minerals and trace elements were determined in 23 common beanaccessions (P. vulgaris) in order to find out their nutritional potential and promote their cultivation.Result: Parameters found fell well into the ranges of the data described in the literature for beans. The consumption of beanscontributes remarkedly to the daily intake of protein (although is deficient in sulfur amino-acids), fiber, phenolic compounds, mineralssuch as Mg and K and trace elements as Fe (although with low bioavailability), Cu and Mn. Phenolic compounds in beans increaseswhen pH decreased and acidity increased. Protein content was positively correlated with trace elements content, except Se. Color ofthe seed influenced on content protein, starch, fiber, P, K, Mg, Fe, Cu and Zn, while shape only affected on starch, fiber, P and K.
