About Beans and greens

Beans and Greens is a hearty, nutritious dish rooted in Southern and soul food cuisine. It typically combines tender leafy greens like collard, mustard, or kale with creamy beans such as black-eyed peas, navy beans, or cannellini. Seasoned with garlic, onion, smoked meats, or vegetable broth, it boasts a rich depth of flavor. This dish is a powerhouse of nutrition, offering high-quality plant-based protein from beans alongside an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the greens. It supports gut health, boosts immunity, and promotes heart health due to its low fat and cholesterol content. Sodium levels can vary depending on preparation, especially when cured meats or salt are added, making lighter versions a better option for some. Beans and Greens is versatile, comforting, and easily customizable to fit a range of dietary preferences.
