Organic Black Beans Flakes 1lb - For Black Bean Burger Patties, Dry Bean Soup Mix, Black Bean Dip and More

I bought these for a camping trip. I tested to see how much I need per meal. Between 2 and 2.5 oz for lunch will keep me full until dinner. Add some Cholula or other spice of choice and it tastes very good. I'm using it to lose extra pounds, since snacking is my primary cause of adding them, and I wasn't tempted to snack at all. They are a tad bland without adding something, but then you control what you're eating, and not some food conglomerate cramming in as much salt and sugar possible. Oh, and it makes packing for lunch a one minute process.

Taste great I mis the black beans with pinto beans

Dried beans are great when you need 'em fast. Just add water to barely cover and microwave for 30 seconds. The beans are ready to use! You can also add salsa and spices to "spice" things up. Stick them in tacos, burritos...whatever and wherever you need some cooked beans. I also like them for food storage as they last for years and require very little in the way of resources (heat and water) to create an edible dish. In power outages - of course my microwave isn't working - I add some dried beans to a small pan and some water and cook them for a few minutes over my butane camp stove. Add some cheese, onions, cilantro and make them even tastier. The beans can also be hydrated before cooking by soaking in water just to cover, then heated. They do re-constitute faster in boiling water.Because they are dehydrated you can store more beans in less space than with canned beans. Where dry beans take an hour or two to cook and soften, dehydrated beans take only seconds. Love them!

Love black beans. I also like frontier products. I will say I use this as refried beans and do not follow the instructions written. I use 1 cup of these beans, and 3/4th cup of water, give them a good stir making sure everything gets wets. My water temp is between 200-212 degrees. I cover with a paper towel and then place a plate on top of the towel. I wait maybe 10ish minutes or longer, give them a stir and they will be too thick for refried. I add 1 T at a time and stir till I get the canned refried consistency that I am used to. I season with lime juice, cumin, and pepper, stir it all up and enjoy. I will tell you though these beans stink when they come out of the bag. After rehydrating and seasoning, they don't smell bad any longer. They taste great. I have had them without seasoning and they still taste ok, to me. Great value, a lot healthier than the can products in the grocers. Much, much lower salt content, which is a win for me.

This is an excellent product that lasts a long time for its price because you don't need to use very much for each meal. We use it for backpacking, for one of the ingredients in our home-dried hummus, and for making burritos in our camper. I highly recommend it.

These are great for a quick soup or to thicken up chili! Excellent flavor. Highly recommend.

I powder these in my blender and use 6 grams in my protein shakes. Use a good high power blender, preferably a glass on metal blending jar as the material is abrasive. Don't use a plastic jar.

I mix these beans in a gallon bag with minute rice. I add crystalized lime, salt, and spices. I go camping. I boil water. I add the water to my rice and beans mix. In ten minutes, I have a great meal. The meal is cheap. The meal is tasty. The meal is filling. The meal is easy to clean up. I am happy. These beans made me happy. Will they make you happy too? I don't know. Do you like camping? Do you like cheap and easy meals? Buy these beans.
