Washington State Black Beans | 4 LB Bag | Non-GMO | Vegan | Kosher | Non-Irradiated | Dry Black Beans | Frijoles Negros

I am really trying to watch my salt/sodium intake and was appalled at the level of sodium in a can of beans - even the "low sodium"! I've taken to making my own in my instant pot. I don't use any salt at all. I usually will put a bay leaf in the water, but that's it. They are fantastic. Every time. I set it for high pressure 35 mins, and manual steam immediately - if you release the steam promptly, your beans will still hold together with a great texture and not be mushy. I've found these are nice and clean as well. I still always rinse them, but I rarely find much to pitch - maybe one per batch. I typically make 2 c dried beans and add enough cold water to submerge the beans by about 2". When they're finished cooking, I drain them and then let them cool a bit and separate to freeze in portions more suitable for me. I will defrost them before using them in any of my dishes. They are perfect every time.

Love the nutty taste of these beans! Great in chili and black bean soup. A great value for the money. I dislike the cloth bag and decant the beans into a large plastic container, but for the price and taste, this product is worth the slight hassle.

Good

These are excellent beans! Very clean, very uniform!

Good beans and tasty

The beans are smaller than I expected, and they break easily.However, since I’m using them for noodles and will be boiling and grinding them anyway, it’s not really an issue for me.

We soak 10hours. Pressure cook 45 minFreeze extra.Yummy fiber!

I like the size of the bag
