About Frijoles rojos
Frijoles Rojos, or red beans, are a staple in Latin American cuisine, particularly in dishes from Central America and the Caribbean. These small, oval-shaped legumes are packed with nutrients and a rich, earthy flavor that complements rice, stews, and soups. Red beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and potassium, supporting muscle health, digestion, and heart function. Low in fat and naturally cholesterol-free, they are a versatile choice for vegetarian, vegan, or health-conscious diets. However, they must be cooked thoroughly, as raw beans contain lectins that can be toxic if not properly prepared. Traditionally seasoned with herbs, onion, and garlic, Frijoles Rojos are both nutritious and flavorful. When paired with added fats or sodium-rich ingredients, such as lard or processed seasoning, their healthfulness diminishes, so mindful preparation makes them an ideal addition to balanced meals.
