Black Beans for Baby (Puree and BLW)

Learn how to serve black beans for baby—whether from a can or cooked from dry—with these easy ideas for finger foods and bean puree.

Black Beans for Baby

Beans are one of the most affordable, nutritious plant-based proteins around, and they are—fortunately for us!—so easy to prepare for kids of all ages. My girls are a little obsessed with black beans, so we use them weekly. I’m going to share my favorite easy methods for serving beans to babies and toddlers, including as a puree, finger food, and baby-led-weaning style.

And at the end of the post, be sure to check out my favorite recipes featuring beans.

Bean Puree

You can transform any cooked bean, including black beans, pinto beans, and garbanzo beans, into a puree. All you need to do is blend the beans very smooth in a blender with as much liquid as it takes to move the mixture easily.

Then, you can serve it as a Stage 1 baby food or use it together with other purees as a Stage 2 or 3 baby food. It’s particularly great mixed with Sweet Potato Baby Food and Avocado Puree.

Beans for Baby-Led Weaning

You can mash any fully cooked beans onto a spoon or a stick of lightly toasted bread so baby can self-feed BLW style. This is an easy way to let them feed themselves.

And once they are able to pick up smaller pieces of food, they can pick up the beans with their finger.

Ingredients You Need

To make black beans for baby, you can start with purchased cooked beans in a BPA-free can (if possible) or carton. Or you can cook them from dry at home. I love to make them in my Instant Pot or slow cooker, since all you need is water, and the machine does the rest.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s the basic info on how to prepare beans at home for baby:

If starting with cooked beans in a carton or can, drain them in a colander. Rinse them to remove the liquid that was in the can. This helps to freshen them and also remove excess salt. Warm slightly and add seasoning as desired.
To cook from dry, add beans to a slow cooker or pressure cooker with some garlic and water. Cook according to this easy black bean recipe. Drain.
To serve as a finger food, mash just slightly.
To puree, add beans to a blender and blend until smooth, adding a little liquid at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

How to Add Flavor to Black Beans

You can add a range of seasonings and other foods to black beans to make them more flavorful. Here are some favorites:

Cumin
Chili powder
Oregano
Sweet Potato Baby Food, Avocado Puree, quinoa, mild salsa, mild guacamole, sour cream

How to Store

You can store beans for baby in an airtight storage container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can babies eat black beans?

Yes, babies can eat well-cooked black beans as a puree, mashed onto toast or a spoon as a BLW food, or as a finger food.

How do I introduce black beans to my baby?

You can start with a small amount of pureed black beans or for an older baby, offer slightly mashed beans as a finger food.

Are black beans hard for babies to digest?

When cooked until soft, they should be easy for babies to digest. You may have some gas, which could simply be a reaction to a new-to-baby food.

Best Tips for Success

Start with cooked beans from a can, carton, or that you’ve cooked from dry. If using canned or beans from a carton, drain and rinse them before using to freshen and remove salt.
To puree, blend with water or no-salt-added chicken or vegetable stock.
To serve as a BLW-food, mash beans onto a lightly toasted stick of toast or spoon so they can self-feed.
To serve as a finger food, mash slightly and let baby self-feed.

DESCRIPTION

Recently I tried out a new vinaigrette recipe by adding avocado. This time I decided to make a vinaigrette with beans. And not just with red beans, but with Preto black beans. Preto black beans are known by various names. The most popular is Black Turtle. In many countries, they are simply called Black Beans (Frijol negro in Spanish, Feijão preto in Portuguese). These are medium-sized beans, silky black on the outside and creamy on the inside. It has a delicate and at the same time dense texture, a sweetish taste with a slight bitterness and a pleasant berry aroma. Preto beans are very popular in Latin American cuisine - they are used in meat and vegetable dishes, in soups and soup mixtures, in stews, salads, and also fried. These beans form the basis of Brazilian cuisine, the Brazilians prepare "feijoada" from it - the main national dish. Preto beans are often used in various vegetarian dishes, such as the veggie bean burrito. In addition to the Brazilian feijoada, Preto is also a traditional ingredient in the Cuban dish Moros y Cristianos. The name translates as "Moors and Christians" and is a symbol of the Reconquista (712 - 1238). The essence of the dish is in the contrasting combination of black beans and snow-white rice. In Asian countries, it is often fermented to make bean sauce. nine0003

Therapeutic nutrition for kidney disease

The article was checked by a specialist: Byrko N. V. , nephrologist at SOVA Clinic

Diseases lead to a deterioration in the functionality of the kidneys and urinary tract, which is symptomatically manifested by a decrease in appetite, thirst, swelling of the legs, and hypertension. In the body, metabolic products accumulate, metabolism is disturbed. It is possible to normalize it with the help of a diet, so it is an important part of the main therapy.

BASIC PRINCIPLES

A strict diet or table number 7 is prescribed for patients with chronic renal failure, nephrotic syndrome or glomerulonephritis. For other pathologies, excessive nutritional restriction is not required. It is enough just to reduce the use of salt, spices, hot spices and be sure to exclude alcohol.

The main principles of proper nutrition in diseases of this area are to limit the intake of protein, salt, and reduce the calorie content of dishes. It is also necessary to arrange fasting days. nine0003

PROTEIN LIMITATION

Protein metabolism in the body ends with the formation of nitrogenous waste products. The kidneys affected by the disease cannot cope with its excretion, so the substances accumulate in excess in the blood. At the same time, protein is a necessary building material for cells, and it cannot be completely excluded from the diet. Therefore, protein intake should be limited, not stopped. For this, patients are advised to choose meat and fish varieties with the lowest fat content. It is advisable to cook them without oil, avoiding frying in a pan. Chicken eggs are allowed. nine0003

Patients with chronic renal failure are allowed to consume 20-50 grams of protein daily. This indicator depends on the severity of the disease and the patient's body weight.

In some cases, proteins are excluded completely. But the duration of a protein-free diet should not exceed 1-2 weeks. Due to a sharp rejection of protein foods, well-being can deteriorate significantly.

With small deviations in the work of the kidneys, this type of food is not prescribed. Fasting days with an interval of once or twice a week will help to maintain balance. nine0003

SALT RESTRICTION

Salt intake is reduced if edema and hypertension are also observed in connection with the underlying kidney disease. The principle is that when cooking, the products are not salted. Only after the food is ready, it is slightly salted. The daily norm is 2-3 grams per day (half a teaspoon).

When compiling the menu, you need to remember that salt is present in semi-finished and finished factory products, and in significant doses. Even bread belongs to this category. If you can't find a place that sells salt-free baked goods, you should learn how to bake it yourself. Of course, a high salt content is typical for semi-finished meats, smoked meats, homemade salting, canned food, hard cheese, salted fish. It is also forbidden to drink water with a high degree of mineralization. nine0003

The salt-free diet has its positive aspects - you can feel the taste much better, especially with raw vegetables.

PROHIBITED AND ALLOWED PRODUCTS

Therapeutic nutrition also involves the exclusion of food, which contains a lot of phosphorus and potassium. These are cottage cheese, dried fruits and bananas, nuts, as well as offal: offal, liver, heart, etc.

Essential oils negatively affect the kidneys, so it is necessary to exclude broths, beans, hot peppers, spices, mushrooms. From vegetables - radishes, onions. However, you can put bay leaves, lightly fried onions, spices - cinnamon in dishes. nine0003

LOADING DAYS

Days of unloading in the presence of renal pathologies should be arranged regularly and systematically. The principle is simple - during the day you need to eat one type of food. Recommended days when you should limit yourself to berries and fruits, or watermelons, vegetables, juices, oatmeal.

It is allowed to eat up to 1.5 kg per day, while the food is divided into 5 approaches to the table. Vegetables can be eaten raw or cooked without frying. Salad of fresh vegetables can be seasoned with butter or sour cream with a low percentage of fat. Unloading cucumber day is very effective. nine0003

NUTRITION FOR URINAL STONES

The diet depends on the chemical composition of the stones. If oxalates are detected during the diagnosis, then sorrel, lettuce, spinach and other leafy greens are strictly prohibited. Do not drink coffee, chocolate, cocoa. Be sure to exclude foods rich in ascorbic acid: blackcurrant, radish, citrus. It is recommended to increase the intake of vitamin B6, which is found in black bread, buckwheat, oatmeal. For patients, cauliflower, pumpkin, beans, prunes, eggplants will be very useful. nine0003

In the event that urates are found during the diagnosis, it is necessary to use products that alkalize the urine. Useful cereals, honey, dried fruits, potatoes. Under the ban - meat and fish, offal, semi-finished products and ready-made canned food.

According to the opposite principle, nutrition is built when phosphate stones are detected. To acidify urine, you need to eat meat and fish, while completely eliminating milk and sour-milk products, juices, compotes and vegetable soups.

The duration of the diet should not be longer than 1 month.
