About Bean spread

Bean spread is a nutritious and versatile condiment made primarily from blended cooked beans, often combined with ingredients like olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a variety of herbs and spices. Popular types include hummus, originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, which features chickpeas and tahini, and refried bean spreads found in Latin American dishes. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and magnesium, bean spreads are a satisfying option for vegetarians and vegans alike. They support heart health and digestion while offering sustained energy. Typically lower in fats than many creamy condiments, they become less healthy when high amounts of added oils or sodium are introduced in packaged versions. Easy to make at home, bean spreads can be enjoyed as dips, sandwich spreads, or flavor-packed toppers, adding nutrient-dense variety to meals.
