About Simmered beans
Simmered beans are a versatile dish enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, from Latin American stews to Mediterranean sides. Made by slowly cooking beans like black, pinto, kidney, or navy beans in water or broth, they’re often seasoned with ingredients like garlic, onions, herbs, and spices. This method enhances their natural flavor while keeping the dish simple and nutritious. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and essential minerals, simmered beans support digestive health, stabilize blood sugar, and promote heart health. They are an excellent choice for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone seeking a nutrient-dense, cost-effective meal. However, canned beans may contain added sodium, so opting for dry beans or thoroughly rinsing canned ones is a healthier alternative. With their hearty texture and nutritional value, simmered beans can easily be the centerpiece of a wholesome, balanced diet.
