Each week, we'll be naming a Super Food and offering unique ways to use those Super Foods that pack nutritional power. After all, you are what you eat -- make it count!

It's no secret -- beans are great for you. In fact, we've told you before on You Are What You Eat about the amazing health benefits of two common types of beans -- kidney beans and garbanzo beans, aka chick peas. But when it comes to beans, don't limit yourself; there are other healthy beans you should make sure you're eating too. Case in point? Black beans.

Black Beans aren't a staple of most people's diets, but maybe they should be -- In addition to being a great source of fiber and protein, black beans also contain valuable antioxidants and vitamins, including manganese, magnesium, folate and iron. All that and they're virtually fat free. You can't do much better than that, huh?

Want a really great glass of resveratrol-containing wine soon? The preservation of grapes using a new ozone technique could help prevent allergies that some wine aficionados have as well as boost healthy compounds at the same time.

In addition, this same ozone technique could be used in the wine-making process to produce healthier wines without the added sulphites, which preserve the taste in what I consider an unnatural way really -- but it's about the only way to preserve wine in that industry right now.

That is, for normally-priced wines. Some winemakers are aware that the sulphites added to their wines to allow them to age longer -- but can make their wines unpalatable to some drinkers.
