Why beans is more preferable than rice

Bean and rice are both food that gives the body nutrient, just that they both are quite different in the sense of the classes of food. Rice is Carbohydrate while beans, on the other hand, is proteinous food which gives more nutrient to the body, but most people choose rice over beans because the cooking doesn’t take time to compare to beans and it can be cooked in different ways like white rice, Jollof rice, fried rice and Chinese rice to mention but few. Beans on the other hand can also be cooked in different ways as well like White beans, red oil beans, grind beans  can be used for moin moin, Ekuru and Gberi soup(Beans Soup)
