Canary beans, also known as Peruvian beans or mayocoba beans, are mild-flavored legumes native to South America, particularly popular in Latin American and Mexican cuisine. They have a creamy texture and a pale yellow color, making them versatile for soups, stews, chili, and refried dishes. Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like folate, iron, and potassium, these beans support heart health, digestion, and sustained energy levels. They are naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, aligning them with healthy dietary patterns. However, like most beans, they contain complex carbohydrates, making portion control important for individuals managing blood sugar levels. When cooked, their gentle taste absorbs seasonings readily, making them a nutritious centerpiece or complement to various meals.
