About Boiled frijoles

Boiled frijoles, or boiled beans, are a staple in Latin American cuisine, particularly in Mexican households. Made by simmering dried beans such as pinto, black, or kidney beans in water until tender, they are often prepared with minimal added ingredients like salt, garlic, onion, or other spices for flavor. Naturally rich in fiber, protein, and essential nutrients like iron and potassium, boiled frijoles are a heart-healthy option that supports digestion and provides sustained energy. They are low in fat and cholesterol-free when prepared without added oils or lard. However, salt and other seasonings should be used sparingly to maintain their health benefits. Versatile and satisfying, boiled frijoles can be enjoyed as a side, blended into soups, or used as a base for refried beans in countless dishes. The simplicity and nutritional profile of this wholesome food make it a foundational element of traditional and modern diets alike.
