About Smashed beans

Smashed Beans is a hearty dish rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, offering both nutrition and versatility. Originating from various culinary traditions, its preparation often draws influence from Latin American, Mediterranean, or Middle Eastern cuisines, depending on the flavor profile. The dish typically features cooked beans such as black, pinto, or chickpeas, mashed with olive oil, garlic, and spices to create a creamy texture. It’s naturally low in fat when prepared without added butter or oils, making it a heart-healthy choice. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals like magnesium, iron, and folate, Smashed Beans support energy levels and digestive health. However, sodium levels can increase if heavily salted or paired with processed toppings. Delicious as a dip, spread, or side, Smashed Beans are a nutritious option that blends well with fresh vegetables, whole-grain breads, or lean proteins for a balanced meal.
