What it is

Black beans are a type of common bean, scientifically known as *Phaseolus vulgaris*. They are native to the Americas and are cultivated worldwide. The beans are typically dried and then rehydrated and cooked before use in food products.

Why it's used

Black beans are used as a food ingredient for their nutritional value and texture. They are often found in canned or frozen formats, appearing in dishes like chili, soups, salads, and Mexican-inspired meals. They add protein, fiber, and a hearty element to packaged foods.

Health notes

Black beans are a nutritious food, rich in fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. They are not an additive but a whole food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider them safe for consumption as part of a balanced diet. While generally recognized as healthy, individuals with specific dietary needs should consult with a healthcare provider.

Allergen info
