About Black refried beans

Black refried beans are a flavorful dish made by mashing and cooking black beans with seasonings like garlic, onion, and spices, often using oil or lard for a creamy texture. This staple is popular in Mexican and Latin American cuisines, where it’s served as a side dish, filling, or dip. Rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, black refried beans support digestive health and provide long-lasting energy. They are also an excellent source of essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. However, the health value can vary depending on preparation—traditional recipes using lard or excess oil can increase saturated fat content. Opting for versions made with healthier oils or no added fats can make them a more heart-friendly choice. Whether homemade or store-bought, black refried beans are a delicious, versatile option that balances indulgence with nutritional benefits when enjoyed in moderation.
