About Porotos negros

Porotos negros, or black beans, are a staple in Latin American cuisine, particularly in dishes from Mexico, Brazil, and the Caribbean. These small, shiny legumes are rich in flavor and nutrients, making them a popular ingredient in soups, stews, and salads. Packed with protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, black beans are a great plant-based protein choice for vegetarians and vegans. They also contain important vitamins and minerals such as folate, magnesium, and iron, which support heart health, digestion, and energy production. Naturally low in fat and cholesterol, porotos negros contribute to balanced nutrition when enjoyed in moderation. However, canned varieties may include added sodium, so rinsing them or choosing low-sodium options is advisable. With their versatility and health benefits, porotos negros are a delicious and nourishing component of countless savory dishes.
