Beans are having a bit of a moment on social media, which does not come as a surprise because they are nutritious and delicious. Beans like cannellini beans, butter beans, chickpeas, and more are also versatile because they can add body to a soup, bring plant-based protein to a salad, or provide a tiny crunch.

These TikTok chefs are cooking up a storm that makes us say “cool beans!”
