About Mexican beans
Mexican beans are a staple ingredient in traditional Mexican cuisine, offering rich flavors and versatile uses in a variety of dishes. Typically including black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans, they are often seasoned with spices like cumin, garlic, and chili powder. Packed with nutrients, Mexican beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron. Their high fiber content supports digestion and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. They are naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy option. However, preparation methods such as refrying with lard or adding excessive salt may increase their saturated fat or sodium content, which could impact health if consumed excessively. Whether served as a side dish, filling for tacos, or the base for soups, Mexican beans are both nutritious and flavorful, playing a key role in balanced diets and sustainable eating.
