Rep Power: 51 | | | Speaking of black beans... I have a fear of beans...I'm nervous to try them. I love brown beans straight out of the can, and I love kidney beans in chili. But that's it for my bean experience.
I've been perusing recipes, and a lot use black beans. I am curious as to what they actually TASTE like.  All opinions welcome! |

Rep Power: 0 | | Well...its kinda hard for me to explain...I just know they're good.  Do you eat much Mexican food? You may have had some and not realized it.
I prepared mine for lunch today with red peppers, a dash of garlic and topped it off with some feta cheese... yummy.
I just realized that I am of NO help whatsoever and that I'm just rambling so I'm backing out of this thread now. |

Rep Power: 217 | | | i'm not sure i could describe the taste... they're kind of meaty tasting... the texture can be a little off putting for some people, but i think any bean could do that.
black beans i thik have a m uch richer flavor than other beans - but maybe it's the preparation.. i love spicey, and cumin and other stuff that i usually throw into black beans.
Black beans are smaller than kidney beans and have a little more flavor, not as starchy as kidney beans are...
Suggestion... get a small can of them-- drain and rinse them well.... and add them to a salad, or a salsa and give them a shot.. |
