Black Beans, 4lb.

I love to cook and back, dried Black Beans are a staple in my meal rotation. Iberia Black Beans are a must have in my pantry. - Very high quality. Always fresh and delicious, so much better than canned black beans! - Great for any meal. They cook up beautifully in a crock-pot after an overnight soak in water. - After cooking, these Black Beans have a creamy consistency and a delicious flavor profile that is earth, slightly sweet, fruity, and slightly herbally. - Great to cook and have on hand as a side dish or main dish for any meal. A photo of a vegetarian bean pot made in my crock-pot with unsalted chicken stock, dried ancho chile powder, shallot, diced fresh pineapple, and an abundance of cut and sifted dried herbs is attached. - Salt Tip: If using salt when preparing the beans, I recommend adding it toward the end of the cooking time for best flavor and bean texture results. This 5 pound bag is a terrific value and friendly to your grocery budget. I highly recommend this product.

These beans arrived perfectly packaged with no tears or ripped. I ordered 5 bags to replenish our emergency food supply. Great deal on a great product.

Good fair price. This along with red kidney beans is used for chili and making Cajun rice and beans, economical and practical just needs soaking for 24 hours and boil it for 2 hours without salt. Throw away the water by straining in colander and it's ready to cook. It's good for people with type 2 diabetes like me. Soaking and boiling also lowers the glycemic index and also remove oxalates and 2 hours of boiling=less or no farting. Lol.

My diet includes a variety of different beans every day. I have never met a bean I didn't love. These black beans are excellent quality. They are fresh and intact. Nothing was broken. No pebbles or rocks, and they were very clean, but I still always sort and rinse beans well before using them. I soak them overnight and then pressure cook them for five minutes and I use a natural release. I love to spread black beans on well toasted Ezekiel bread with pure, natural peanut butter and strawberry preserves. It's a heavy dose of fiber, protein, whole sprouted grains, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants ... and it tastes delicious. It's my go to lunch. I also love to spread them on well toasted Ezekiel bread with whipped no salt cottage cheese that I make in my food processor with tomato powder and a variety of spices and herbs. They are delicious beans. They're the perfect texture and very reasonably priced. Dry beans are always a great value for the money and they are so nutritious. I'm not a fan of canned beans. Dry beans you cook yourself taste so much better, and they are much cheaper. I also like to cook from dry to control the salt in my diet. I don't salt beans or any food I eat, but obviously that's a personal preference and it's not the same for everyone.

These beans took awhile to cook. I let them soak overnight and then discarded the water, rinsed them and brought them to a boil I then turned off the heat and let them sit covered for a hour to soften them. They still needed to cook about 30 minutes more. I used them to make a bean dip with mayonnaise, lime juice and salsa. Flavored them up with garlic seasoning, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to taste. Everyone who tasted them loved their flavor.

These are good beans. The beans came spilled in my Amazon package, but I blame Amazon's packing crew for putting products with ripped packaging in their packages. I get the feeling that Amazon is plagued by terrorists that sabotage Amazon, the sellers, and the buyers! I poured the beans into dry storage containers and make sure to wash the beans before soaking them. They cook up well and taste great!

In my years long search for good black beans these fit the bill …. I refrain from soaking them because I don’t like throwing out the soak water (vitamin loss)…. in my experience with them, it takes approximately two hours to cook them which is a good indication of their freshness. The flavor and texture is unsurpassed and I get compliments all the time from friends who try them so take a chance give them a try you’ll never go back!

Soaked these black beans and cooked them in my crock pot and they were very tasty. Also liked it that they came in a 4 lb. packet instead of the usual 1 lb.
