What it is

Black beans are a type of legume, native to the Americas, and are a good source of fiber and protein. The flaking process makes them easier to rehydrate and incorporate into various food products.

International bodies like EFSA have evaluated black beans and their components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming black bean flakes at typical dietary levels.
