Peruvian Beans

Peruvian beans, also known as canary beans or frijoles canarios, are a variety of legume that originated in Peru. They are commonly used in Latin American cuisine and have a slightly nutty flavor and creamy texture. Peruvian beans are high in protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making them a great addition to a healthy diet. They are also a good source of iron and magnesium. To prepare Peruvian beans from dried, they should be soaked overnight and cooked in boiling water for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours until tender. They can be used in soups, stews, salads, or as a side dish, and are a versatile and nutritious ingredient in many recipes.
