About Black Bean
Black bean is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods mainly as a source of carbohydrate, soluble and insoluble fiber, and supplemental plant protein, and it contributes micronutrients such as folate, iron and potassium while adding bulk and texture to formulas. Proper cooking or processing is important to reduce anti-nutrients (like lectins and phytates) and improve digestibility; black beans can help with satiety and gut health in dogs but provide lower-quality protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause gas in some pets, so they are typically used as a complementary ingredient rather than a primary protein source.
