About Cuban black beans
Cuban black beans are a classic staple of Cuban cuisine, rich in both flavor and nutritional benefits. Traditionally slow-cooked with onions, garlic, green peppers, and spices like cumin and oregano, these beans develop a savory, earthy profile. They are often simmered with bay leaves and sometimes mixed with a splash of vinegar for tang. High in fiber and plant-based protein, black beans support digestion and help maintain energy. They also provide essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, along with B vitamins important for metabolism. While Cuban black beans are generally healthy, they may contain added sodium or fats from ingredients like pork or oil, depending on preparation. Typically served alongside rice, they’re a hearty and nutritious side dish suitable for vegetarian diets when made without animal products. Enjoyed for generations, they offer both culinary tradition and valuable nutrients in every bite.
