Great Value, No Salt Added, Canned Black Beans, 15 oz Can

These cans are actually full of beans and not the usual mix of what I find to be a substantial amount of liquid and 3/4 or less can of beans. There was very minimal liquid and the cans were packed full of beans. The taste and texture were as good as any other canned beans out there and I appreciate that they are offered in this no salt added option. They cans have the pop top tab so can opener required which is also a bonus in my book.

Black beans are an inexpensive source of protein %26 I love the versatility of this product! For MOST of my uses , they get drained %26 rinsed, though that isnt necessary if simply adding them to a soup or chili. But we love both the taste %26 visual appeal of adding them to salsa %26 bean salads after a good rinse. While we like the flavor of the great value black bean %26 corn salsa they sell in a jar -- and I have been buying it for many years -- it is a bit spicier than what i personally consider ideal -- so I quicky learn MY ideal version was to drain a can of corn, rinse a can of these %26 add them to their jar of salsa. I get a mellower degree of spicey while doubled the volume of salsa. The beans %26 corn really can be eaten with a spoon by itself as a sidedish. I have recently discovered Walmart carries an inexpensive canned salsa in the canned tomato area. Since the jarred one we loved has shrunk to half its previous size, decided to try adding the corn %26 beans to the plain canned salsa %26 discovered that too is a great combo though a tad spicier. If I want to mellow that further, a can of petite diced tomatoes does the trick. But, bottom line here is, I buy these beans by the case! Though I am NOT of Mexican decent. We just love the milder Mexi-Amerian foods. Oh I do also choose the no added salt or reduced salt or salt free versions whenever I can get it for blood pressure / health reasons. And once a person gets used to low salt, the " regular" versions taste oversalted. I've made myself hungery %26 need to go make a batch of bean %26 corn salsa now! lol ENJOY!
