We know that beans are good for us, but which ones should we buy? Dried beans seem like the cheapest option, but we think canned wins every time. Find out why.
I would rather cook my dried beans from scratch. But this article has some arguments for when canned beans are superior.
Canned beans = convenience. Sometimes I get an urge to eat beef weiners (I love meat by products) or spam and I like having them with a bowl of beans for work lunch. Usually pintos or black eyed peas. This happens on a whim so grabbing a can of beans is a perfect fit.
I do keep my own homemade beans in vacuum sealed packs in the freezer. Usually ranch style type or my own Mexican pinto/Anasazi bean recipe. It’s just somehow a can of beans seems to be a perfect match for my meat by-product of choice.
Agreed on most everything.
