What it is
Black bean powder is made from dried, ground black beans. It is a concentrated form of the whole bean, retaining much of its nutritional value. The powder is typically produced by dehydrating cooked black beans and then grinding them into a fine powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use black bean powder as a source of fiber, protein, and flavor in food products. It can also act as a binder or thickener. It is commonly found in snacks like chips and crackers, as well as in vegetarian meat alternatives and baked goods.
Health notes
Black bean powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and plant-based protein, which are components of a healthy diet. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar bean products. Evidence suggests that the fiber in beans can contribute to digestive health and may help manage blood sugar levels.
Allergen info
Black bean powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
