What it is
Organic black bean flour is made from dried, whole black beans that have been milled into a fine powder. Black beans are a type of legume, native to the Americas, and are a good source of protein and fiber.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use black bean flour as a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat flour in baked goods and pasta. It adds a slightly earthy flavor and can contribute to a denser texture, while also boosting the protein and fiber content of foods.
Health notes
Black bean flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated legumes and their components, but specific evaluations for black bean flour may vary. As a whole food ingredient, it is not typically associated with the same concerns as highly processed additives.
Allergen info
Black beans are legumes, which are not among the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Black bean flour is naturally gluten-free.
