By Garrett Simpson, NASM-CNC, Community Health Leader
Stewed black beans are a comforting, flavorful dish that’s rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and potassium. These powerhouse legumes support heart health, aid digestion, and help stabilize blood sugar levels, making them a smart choice for any meal. Slow cooked with garlic, onion, cumin, and citrus, this recipe is both nourishing and delicious. Enjoy it as a main dish, a side, or tucked into your favorite grain bowl or taco.
