A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is a complex of three essential amino acids leucine (0.708 g), isoleucine (0.391 g) and valine (0.464 g). Black beans contain 1.563 grams of BCAAs per every 100 grams.
Creatine can be synthesized in the body from the three common amino acids glycine (0.346 g), arginine (0.549 g) and methionine (0.133 g). Black beans contain 1.028 grams of these amino acids per every 100 grams.
