BBQ Black Beans
Black beans are a type of small legume with a glossy black shell they are also known as turtle beans, caviar criollo, and frijoles negros. These beans date back at least 7,000 years, when they were a staple food in the diets of Central and South Americans.
Black beans provide special support for digestive tract benefits, benefits for bloodsugar regulation and cardiovascular benefits.
Hoe Cakes
Hoe cakes are often associated with the American South, where hoe cakes are served with a variety of sweet and savory foods. There are several explanations where hoe cakes came from. What are hoe cakes? No it’s not what you think it is ;). Some food historians use ex-slave narratives as proof that hoe cakes are called that because they were cooked on the back of a hoe. Others believe the name hoe cake comes not from the slaves cooking the cornmeal on a metal hoe, but rather from an earlier meaning of the word hoe, which was synonymous with griddle.
Baked Beans
Beans are a rich source of soluble fiber, the same gummy fiber found in oat products. The fiber acts in the body to lower cholesterol and blood sugar. Although there are more than 14,000 specimens in the legume family, only 22 are grown for human consumption. One of our oldest foods, beans were eaten often by the ancient Greeks, who would hold a “bean feast” to honor Apollo. Dry beans are a high source of protein second only to animal protein. Although beans were once called “poor man’s meat,” they have recently undergone a renaissance of popularity, thanks to health-conscious consumers who enjoy this economical source of versatile and delicious nutrition.
