Because black bean rice is rich in nutrients and delicious, it will naturally become popular, and today's black bean rice is no longer the same as the original method.

1. Black bean rice was once the food of black slaves

In the beginning, black bean rice was indeed the food of black slaves. At that time, farmers collected pig ears, pig tails, pig mince and other items left over from slaughtering pigs, stewed them with black beans in large pots, and distributed them as food for black slaves. I don’t know who first discovered that although this thing looks ugly and dark, it tastes surprisingly good. Later it spread slowly and was improved, and it became one of Brazil’s special delicacies.

2. Today’s black bean rice is different from the past

After black bean rice spread, farmers and nobles naturally would not use pig feet like they usually did for black slaves. Make it for yourself. Today's Brazilian black bean rice is rich in ingredients, including sausage, ham, bacon, etc., and the taste is incomparable. It’s not even just limited to black beans, red beans and white beans are also great choices. Of course, the most popular one is the classic black bean rice. In Brazil, black bean rice is cooked differently in different places. In the north, the ingredients are relatively simple, while in the south, the ingredients are richer, but the taste is not superior or inferior, and both are endlessly memorable.

3. Black beans are rich in nutrients and have high yields

Brazil is a famous country for growing beans, and there is even a saying that "there is no meal without beans". The high output of beans has brought about a drop in prices. Black bean rice can be said to be a delicacy that only a few poor people can enjoy. Black beans are also very nutritious, containing 34% of crude protein, 5% of crude fiber and 12% of fat. It also has many effects such as lowering cholesterol, delaying aging, and preventing cancer. How could such a cheap and good-for-you delicacy not be popular?

The humble black bean rice has transformed from the food of black slaves into the national dish of Brazil, and has even become one of the representative images of Brazil. It can be described as a bizarre but very reasonable story.
