Calories in Black Beans
Black beans: fibre and protein, and the can vs dry difference
What makes black beans so powerful?
Dry black beans are about 340 calories per 100 g, but canned or cooked beans are around 130 because they are mostly water. Make sure you choose the entry that matches what is on your plate. They give about 8 g of fibre per 100 g cooked, plus protein, which makes them filling. Canned beans can be high in sodium, and rinsing them removes a good part of it.
Rinse canned beans, then add to bowls, tacos or soups. If you cook from dry, soak and simmer for about an hour.
