Description

Barbecue baked beans are a traditional dish consisting of beans slow-cooked and mixed with a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce. This ingredient is frequently used in recipes as a side dish or as part of accompaniments for meat dishes, especially in American cuisine and some Latin American variations.

Origin: Barbecue baked beans have their roots in the traditional cuisine of the United States, particularly in the South and New England areas, where they were prepared as an energizing and economical food to accompany grilled meats. Over time, this preparation has become popular and adapted in different Spanish-speaking countries, preserving its characteristic sweet and smoky flavor.

Properties: This ingredient is an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, derived from the beans. It also contains B-complex vitamins, iron, and other minerals important for health. The preparation with barbecue sauce adds flavor but may increase the sodium and sugar content, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Depending on the country, this ingredient may be known simply as frijoles a la barbacoa, porotos horneados con salsa BBQ, or frijoles al horno con salsa barbacoa. In some regions, baked beans are called frijoles guisados or frijoles encacahuatados if they have variations in the sauce, although the specific term for the version with barbecue sauce is usually the same or very similar.
