Description

Dried black beans are a type of legume widely used in various traditional cuisines, especially in Caribbean and Latin American gastronomy. These are dried beans or grains that, once soaked and cooked, are used in nutritious and comforting dishes such as stews, rice dishes, soups, and salads.

The term "dried black beans" usually refers to dried black beans, although in some regions it may also apply to other dark beans. Their origin is linked to the ancestral agriculture of the Americas, where legumes have been a dietary staple for centuries, providing essential plant-based proteins for the diet.

From a nutritional standpoint, dried black beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and antioxidants. Furthermore, they have a low content of saturated fats and are ideal for balanced or vegetarian diets.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, dried black beans may be known by other names, such as: dried black beans, dried caraotas (Venezuela), dried porotos negros (Argentina, Chile), or simply dried black beans in some regions.

Including dried black beans in your recipes not only adds flavor and texture but also significant nutritional value, making them a staple ingredient for both traditional and modern preparations.
