Bean paste is a versatile condiment and cooking ingredient prevalent in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. Made from ground or mashed beans, such as soybeans, black beans, or chickpeas, it often incorporates ingredients like salt, oil, sugar, or spices for added flavor. Variants include miso, red bean paste, tahini, and black bean sauce, each offering unique taste profiles and culinary applications. Bean paste is rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, supporting digestion and energy metabolism. Some types, like miso, also contain probiotics for gut health. However, certain varieties may be high in sodium, sugar, or oils, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health or calorie intake. Its deep, savory, or subtly sweet flavor makes bean paste an excellent component in soups, marinades, desserts, and sauces, showcasing its adaptability across global cuisines.
