Bush's Best Original Black Beans, 15 Ounces, 12 per case, Price/Case

Very tasty beans. I just add them to salad, no heating or anything, and they're just the right texture and consistency. Sodium content is high (480 in 1/2 a cup)... there is a low-sodium version, too. Other than that, I like the fact that there are no crazy ingredients and that this is such an easy-to-prepare addition to a meal.

These beans tasted really good to me. Recommended

I have not found much difference between one brand of canned black beans to another. Thus, I like Bush's as well as I like Goya, or Publix, or any other brand I've tried. The key is to cook the right amount of time without over-drying and also seasoning. I use a Sazon packet, 15-20 minutes on the stove, medium heat, and it tastes great every time!

This is my absolute favorite brand of beans. They are consistently firm and evenly cooked. You get a can filled mostly with beans, not a ton of salt water. When you rinse them and cook with them, they taste pretty darn close to freshly cooked beans, but far more convenient.

We're long time users of black beans, for everything from plain old bean soup to chili. We even use it for mock hummus. (Same recipe, just black beans instead of garbanzos.) While we have always cooked them from dried beans, sometimes we're in a hurry or just need a small amount for a recipe such as bean salad or our mock hummus. Bush's is a household name in America for beans, although most people think of baked beans in conjunction with their name. I like their beans because they don't add corn syrup in any form to the plain beans. (read your labels, most plain dried beans that have been canned have it added in, which is what gives the liquid in the can that thick consistency, I guess?) Bush's Best black beans are just black beans, water, and salt, so I can add my own touches without any problems. The beans are good--nobody can tell that I didn't use homemade and I can save immense amounts of time when preparing a recipe with these beans. Beans are an economical protein source, important when watching your budget. They don't deliver the bad stuff your doctors will tell you to avoid (other than the salt, but beans without salt is a nightmare!) They are gluten free. Your vegan friends can eat dinner with you. Kids usually love them, and having different color, sizes, flavor...keeps beans interesting. We use black beans often to replace other beans in recipes as well. We all know that beans are the magical fruit. They are also one of the Three Sisters. They are an American native that has been eagerly adopted around the world too. Growing beans is good for the land, as legumes fix nitrogen into the soil, enriching it. It's good for the environment because beans are 34;greener34; than meat, costing less in terms of water, fuel, and carbon footprint. They have fiber and vitamins not found in other foods. I am just glad to have found a brand of prepared black bean that is just the beans with water and salt, instead of a lot of things that I don't want to eat.

Labeled black beans, look like black beans, taste like chili beans! No complaints about the taste though. When the can is emptied, the beans can take awhile to clean off the residue and small bean pieces. Wish it had an easy open pop top but I might just be whining and lazy but many of their competitors have that feature.
