Black beans have a hearty consistency with refreshingly mild taste that makes a great accompaniment to many meals, including a variety of hot or cold dishes. They're great for black bean soups, salsas, and taco salads. Their dense, meaty texture is perfect for adding to chili, rice, vegetarian dishes, and many Latin American and Cajun dishes.
 
Because of their long shelf life, dried black beans are easy to store and portion. Like all dried beans, these black beans require a soaking process before cooking and serving. Cost-effective and rich in protein and fiber, these dried black beans make a smart addition to any kitchen!
