# 2022 Bioactive Peptides Cookies |
Over 75% of worldwide deaths are caused by noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs), poor diet is often an attributable cause
Peptides obtained from beans have the potential to reduce the risk of NCDs. Beans have a high protein content, low levels of rapidly digestible starch, and high levels of resistant starch. Cookies made with the germinated flour can help prevent hypertension and diabetes. The germination process increases nutrient bioavailability due to the molecules being broken down and becoming more easily digestible.
