About Feijoada

Feijoada is a traditional Brazilian stew, widely regarded as the country’s national dish. Originating from Portugal and adapted in Brazil, it is made with black beans, pork cuts such as sausage and bacon, and often beef. The dish is slowly simmered with aromatic spices, garlic, onions, and bay leaves, creating a rich, hearty flavor. Typically served with rice, orange slices, collard greens, and farofa (toasted cassava flour), feijoada offers a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. Black beans are a nutritious element, providing plant-based protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. However, the pork and cured meats can be high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is advised. When enjoyed as part of a rounded meal with vegetables and whole grains, feijoada can be satisfying and nutritious.
