Cuban Black Beans

Tastes good (actually superb) and all ingredients look good too, but beware, if you eat 1 pouch of the chickpea, that's pretty much 50% of your recommended sodium daily intake. Other varieties are marginally better, clocking in around 40% for the full pouch.

Who writes a review about beans? Somebody who loves beans but had given up on them, until now. This is a great product. Canned beans from my local supermarket are always a disappointment so I stopped getting them. I don't have time to cook beans myself but A Dozen Cousins beans are fresh and taste terrific. I am trying to eat healthier and these are a great way to do that. I've been trying to avoid packaged, processed foods but the natural ingredients make these different. I can feel good about eating them. The beans are whole and not mashed up liked in cans. All of the varieties are seasoned well and versatile. I've had them on their own, in salads and in wrap sandwiches. I'm really happy to have found these and hope they continue to add new flavors and products. Do yourself a favor and order some. You won't regret it.

The beans are super flavorful and very easy to make. Delicious addition to a meal to amp up the health impact (e.g. I threw some on top of a salad) or amazing base to build a meal around (e.g. tortillas, cheese, beans & veggies last night). The flavors are a really nice blend of spices and I love that it is made with avocado oil too. Just great!!! Pic is of some Huevos we made this AM with the Mexican Cowboy Beans - yummy!

My Cuban black beans had 2-3 beans. You can see in the photo it is just liquid. I was looking forward to this flavor too!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this product as I don't normally eat a lot of packaged beans. I'm trying to eat less meat and I was pleasantly surprised at the powerful punch of flavor and heartiness of the dish. I doctored the mexican cowboy beans with some brown rice, cheese, avocado and cilantro and bam, I had the most delish, satisfying lunch that didn't leave me feeling heavy or in a food coma. It had just the right amount of heat and the tomatoes tasted like they were picked fresh from the vine. I look forward to trying the other 2 flavors.

I bought these because I needed an option for quick dinners at home after work. They take about 5 minutes to heat up on the stove and have amazing flavor. Sometimes I add a little broth to make them more liquid so I can top off some rice. My favorite flavor is the Pinto bean so far. Will be adding this to my weekly dinner rotation!

Ordered a sample pack of 2 each of Cowgirl (should be) Beans, black beans and curried chickpeas. All tasted good and only needed heating. Or you could eat them cold. in a pinch, like camping with no fuel. However the servings are skimpy--only 1/2 cup. I ate 2 packs myself! So, not cheap, and fairly high in sodium like most prepared foods. I especially like the curried beans, but I like curry. So great if time is an issue but money isn't and to add some fast vegan variety to your menu.

tear the package slightly, microwave for 60 seconds, and you've got a great main dish to serve over rice or however. Tastes great, really well-balanced flavors. Each package was good for two people, or one very hungry person. My dad found it a bit spicy for his digestive tastes, though I thought it was just perfect.
