Canned black beans, drained and rinsed, are a convenient ready-to-use legume. Rinsing removes much of the added sodium from canning liquid (typically reducing sodium by 40%). They provide plant protein, fibre, folate, manganese, iron, and distinctive black anthocyanin pigments associated with cardiovascular and metabolic benefits.
Ready to use straight from the can after rinsing; add to tacos, chilli, soups, or salads. Mash with lime juice and cumin for a quick bean dip.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
