What it is

Black bean sticks are a snack food made from dried black beans that have been processed and seasoned. They are typically baked or fried to achieve a crispy texture, offering a savory and often spicy flavor profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use black bean sticks as a crunchy, protein-rich snack option. They are often found in snack mixes, sold as standalone snacks, and flavored with various spices like chili, lemon, and sriracha.

Health notes

Black bean sticks are generally considered safe for consumption. The FDA has not established specific regulations for them as a distinct food category, but their primary ingredient, black beans, is a nutritious legume. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'black bean sticks' as a product are unlikely. As with any snack food, moderation is advised due to potential sodium and fat content depending on preparation.

Allergen info

Black bean sticks are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten unless prepared with gluten-containing ingredients or in a facility that processes gluten.
