About Bean porridge

Bean porridge is a hearty, traditional dish enjoyed in various cuisines around the world, with notable roots in African, Asian, and Caribbean cooking. Typically made using beans such as black-eyed peas, red beans, or kidney beans, the dish is simmered with ingredients like onions, garlic, tomatoes, palm oil, or vegetable oil, alongside seasonings to create a flavorful and wholesome meal. This nutrient-rich porridge provides high-quality protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, making it excellent for sustained energy and digestive health. Depending on preparation methods, bean porridge can be a low-fat, plant-based option; however, variations using excessive oil or animal protein may increase calorie or fat content. Often paired with starchy staples such as yam, rice, or plantain, it serves as a comforting and satisfying meal that balances taste and nutrition.
