Goya Small Red Beans, Dry, 1 Pound Bag

Muy buena

Están muy buenos y muy ricos

Love these black beans for mediterranean dishes

Good quality beans and, at the time I bought them, the price was competitive.

The bean holds it's shape and retains it's skin even after long cooking times on the stove top but I think they cook best in the instant pot. Here's how I prepare them. First I do an overnight soak in salted water (brining) which will tenderize the skin. Believe me, brining the beans results in a much better final product. Then I drain and cover the beans with fresh water and cook them in the instant pot for 8 minutes with a natural release. Then I freeze the beans in a zip lock bag. They will store for ages in the freezer ready at any time to be tossed into a rice/pasta dish or soup/stew. With the Bean's high protein content, I can use less meat in the dish and still prepare a filling meal which is more cost effective and Heathier.

Cheap tasty beans. Soak them over night or parboil them, then cook them low and slow for 8 hours or 20 minutes in the pressure cooker. I sorted the bag of beans and only found one bad one. I'm not sure the everyone knows how to cook dried beans, but mine came out fine every time. I would order this again.

Great

During the Pandemic, I noticed that most of the Goya Dry bean varieties were molded, and of poor quality. So I stopped ordering them for a few years. Recently I've purchased a few, and was delighted that the good quality had returned. How disappointing it was to open my bag of - Small Red Beans, and see molded, broken, and swollen beans - on 4/21/2025
