What it is

Bean puree is made by cooking beans, such as navy, white, or kidney beans, and then processing them into a smooth paste. This process breaks down the beans, making their nutrients more accessible and creating a versatile base ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use bean puree as a thickener and binder in sauces, soups, and stews, adding body and a creamy texture without dairy. It can also serve as a plant-based protein source and a base for dips, spreads, and baked goods.

Health notes

Bean puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and plant-based protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various bean components, generally finding them safe for consumption. Evidence suggests that the fiber in beans can contribute to digestive health.

Allergen info

Beans are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Gluten is not present in pure beans.
