What it is

Black beans are a type of legume, or bean, native to the Americas. They are typically cooked until tender, often by boiling or steaming, before being used in food products. The "organic" label means they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Cooked black beans add a hearty texture and earthy flavor to foods. They are often used as a protein and fiber source in vegetarian and vegan dishes. You'll find them in products like veggie burgers, wraps, burritos, and salads.

Health notes

Black beans are a good source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated beans and their components, recognizing their nutritional value. High fiber intake can support digestive health.

Allergen info

Black beans are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
