About Half cup black beans

Half a cup of black beans is a versatile, nutrient-dense food commonly used in Latin American, Caribbean, and Southwestern cuisines. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, black beans are an excellent choice for maintaining energy and supporting digestion. They are rich in essential nutrients like folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium while remaining low in fat and free of cholesterol. Their deep black color reflects a high content of antioxidants, which can help combat free radicals and promote overall health. This serving contains approximately 114 calories, making it a satisfying addition to salads, soups, or rice dishes. While black beans are healthy overall, those watching sodium intake should opt for unsalted versions if buying canned. Perfectly balancing flavor and nutrition, black beans are an easy way to add both heartiness and health to your meals.
