Boasting a mellow flavour and plenty of protein, with no added sugar or salt, Biona’s organic black beans are a whole and hearty pulse that boosts your cooking. Their beans have a firm and satisfying texture paired with a subtle nuttiness: layer them into vegetarian lasagnes, spoon into spicy chillis or scatter over green salad bowls and rice sides for added flavour and bite. Rich in iron, magnesium and fibre, the protein in Biona’s black beans makes them ideal for vegan dishes.
