Black bean puree is a smooth, hearty dish made by blending cooked black beans with ingredients like olive oil, garlic, onion, lime juice, and spices such as cumin or chili powder. Originating in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, it’s a versatile base or side dish used in dips, tacos, burritos, and grain bowls. Black beans, the star ingredient, are rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate, making this puree a healthy option for supporting digestion and maintaining energy levels. Its low glycemic index can also help regulate blood sugar. While generally nutritious, consider portion sizes and added fats like oil or sour cream, as these can increase its calorie content. Whether enjoyed as a dip or spread, black bean puree is a flavorful and nutrient-dense addition to any meal.
