About Nigerian beans
Nigerian beans, a staple in Nigerian and West African cuisine, are typically made with black-eyed peas or brown beans. This hearty dish is often slow-cooked with onions, peppers, spices, and sometimes palm oil, creating rich, savory flavors. Packed with plant-based protein, Nigerian beans are an excellent source of energy and essential nutrients, including fiber, iron, potassium, and folate. Their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes heart health, while the iron supports healthy red blood cell production. However, the palm oil traditionally used in the preparation can be high in saturated fats, so moderating its use or substituting with healthier oils can enhance the dish's nutritional profile. Nigerian beans are versatile, satisfying, and a wholesome choice for those seeking a nutrient-dense, flavorful meal.
