What Are the Health Benefits of Black Beans?

Canned black beans have a long list of substantial health benefits, making them an ideal addition to any pantry and any meal. They are very high in natural and complete protein, which means they contain amino acids that help your body put the protein to work as muscle. They are also extremely high in natural fiber. They are rich in potassium, an electrolye that supports nerve and muscle function and also helps your body balance sodium levels; folate, an essential B-vitamin is naturally occurring in black beans rather than being added as folic acid (many other foods do this); vitamin B6, another essential B-vitamin; and phytonutrient content that supports your body's natural immune and nervous systems.

What Can You Cook with Goya Beans?

Goya Black Beans make a tasty and nutritious complement to many dishes, the obvious being a golden yellow rice for a simple but formidable duo and complete meal at an unbeatable price. They can also be sprinkled into salad for a pearly black shimmer and protein boost or served smashed on a sandwich for a healthy alternative to other thick spreads. They can be used to make black bean dip, again a healthier alternative to something like refried beans.

Are These Goya Black Beans Dry?

No, these beans are submerged in water to preserve their flavor and shelf life. They have a shelf life of three years thanks to this all-natural packing method.
