What it is
These are cooked black beans preserved in brine. They come in a convenient can, ready to be added to your favorite dishes. Black beans are a common legume, known for their mild, earthy flavor and tender texture once cooked.

How people cook with it
Black beans are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of savory preparations.
- Added to soups and stews
- Used in salads
- Mixed into rice dishes
- Formed into patties
To use, simply open the can and drain the beans. You can rinse them under cold water to remove excess brine, which can sometimes affect the final flavor of your dish. They are already cooked, so they can be added directly to hot or cold recipes. For a richer flavor, you can sauté them with onions and garlic before incorporating them into your meal. They hold their shape well when heated, making them suitable for many cooking methods.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dried black beans, canned black beans are pre-cooked and softened. This significantly reduces preparation time. While dried beans offer more control over texture and seasoning, canned beans provide immediate convenience for busy cooks.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused beans to a separate airtight container. Refrigerate the container and use the beans within 3 to 4 days. This ensures they remain fresh and safe to consume.
