About Feijao frade

Feijão-frade, also known as black-eyed peas, is a versatile legume commonly used in African, Brazilian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Recognizable by its pale skin and black spot, it is a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and potassium. Its high fiber content supports digestive health and helps manage blood sugar levels, making it a valuable food for diabetics and heart health. Feijão-frade is naturally low in fats and calories, promoting weight management. When prepared in stews, salads, or savory dishes, it offers a nutty flavor and creamy texture. While it is packed with nutrients, pairing it with fresh vegetables and lean proteins ensures a balanced meal. However, avoid recipes that add excessive salt or fatty meats to maintain its health benefits.
