Nutritional information

This well-balanced dish will support your digestive system through black beans which are a source of indigestible fibre. They contain anti-inflammatory phytonutrients called anthocyanins, which give them their black colour, and work with other nutrients to promote good health.

Avocados provide a healthy, creamy and filling source of fat and have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, when part of a balanced diet.
