About Crushed red beans

Crushed red beans are a versatile ingredient commonly found in various global cuisines, especially popular in Latin American, Asian, and Creole dishes. Made by mashing red beans, such as kidney beans or Azuki beans, they offer a creamy texture and a mildly nutty flavor. These beans are rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like folate, iron, and magnesium, making them an excellent choice for heart health, digestion, and sustained energy. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, they fit well into vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-sensitive diets. However, preparation methods can affect their nutritional profile; adding sugar, butter, or heavy seasonings may increase calorie and fat content. Crushed red beans are often used in soups, stews, spreads, or even desserts. Whether savory or sweet, they provide a nutritious base that supports balanced eating when enjoyed in moderation.
