What it is

Cooked red beans are a type of legume that has been prepared by cooking. They are a variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and are known for their deep red color and mild, earthy flavor. They are often cooked from dried beans or canned.

Why it's used

Cooked red beans are used as a primary ingredient or a component in various dishes, adding protein, fiber, and color. They are commonly found in chili, soups, stews, salads, and Mexican-inspired dishes like enchiladas and refried beans.

Health notes

Red beans are a good source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. The FDA considers beans to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO's JECFA have evaluated beans and their components, but do not set specific ADIs for whole foods like beans. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of beans is associated with positive health outcomes, including improved blood sugar control and heart health, as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Beans are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA, nor do they contain gluten.
