Black beans, canned
Earthy and mild, softer in texture than dried beans cooked from scratch since they're already fully cooked.
Lens analyzedCanned black beans are pre-cooked black beans packed in liquid, ready to rinse and use without soaking or long cooking. They're a common shortcut ingredient in soups, rice dishes, and Latin American and Tex-Mex cooking.
Where it comes from
Black beans have long been a staple in Latin American and Caribbean cooking, and canning pre-cooked beans became a common convenience product as canned goods spread through North American grocery stores in the 20th century.
Buying it
Check the label for low-sodium or no-salt-added versions if that matters, and give the can a rinse and drain before use to reduce sodium and the thick canning liquid.
Storing it
Store unopened cans in the pantry for a long shelf life; once opened, transfer leftover beans to a sealed container in the fridge and use within a few days.
Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
