Black bean sauce is a highly valued dish in various regions of Latin America, especially in countries where beans are a basic ingredient of the daily diet. Its origin dates back to Mesoamerican indigenous traditions, where black beans were cultivated and consumed since ancient times. In Mexico, this sauce is enjoyed both in home-cooked meals and at celebrations, standing out for its intense and nutritious flavor. In other Latin American countries, the preparation may vary slightly, and it is known by names such as "bean sauce" or is simply used as a base for side dishes and accompaniments in typical dishes. This sauce combines the richness of black beans with fresh ingredients and spices, making it both a delicious dip and an essential part of regional cuisine.
