Eden Organic Pinto Beans, 15 oz Can (12-Pack), No Salt Added, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Kosher, U.S. Grown, Heat and Serve, Macrobiotic, Frijol Pinto

These beans are well cooked, and are not mushy. They have a good taste. I like too that they are organic and that no salt was added.

Added a can to my chili tonight along with hamburger and crispy bacon. Yummy!!

Excellent beans

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I love Eden beans. They are the best brand I have ever found because they cook them in a way to get rid of the lectins. From what I have read from a lot of books on health is that lectins can cause problems in the intestinal lining? Not totally sure about all the specifics but I'm happy to have these beans. I can tell when I have them that they digest very easily.

The quality of all Eden organic beans is excellent. Being preservative free with very little sodium (less than 100 mg per can), the flavor of the beans comes through and is excellent. The one complaint I have about Eden pinto beans is that they tend to chelate (leech their protein). This causes them to stick in the can, and removing them requires one to force them out of the can with a spoon, knife, or fork. The end result is that many of the beans get smashed, which doesn't work well if you want to boil or cook them, although it would save some time in making a vegan version of re-fried beans. Note that you'll find brown specks in some varieties of Eden beans. Do not be alarmed: the specks are kombu (kelp), an organic sea plant that's used as a natural preservative. The kombu can be consumed with the beans, or you can rinse it away.

Sometimes I substitute Eden organic pinto beans for garbanzo beans for chickpeas when I make hummus. Although Eden organic pinto beans give hummus a slightly different flavor, it still taste great. I add Barron organic tahini that I also buy from Amazon to make my hummus whether I use chickpeas or pinto beans. I use Santa Cruz fresh fresh –squeezed (not a concentrate) organic lemon juice or organic Veda organic powdered Lemon or Grelim organic powdered lemon - all Amazon third-party vendors - when I make hummus. Eden pinto beans is a nice switch from the Goya organic chickpeas that I buy from Amazon at just a slightly higher price than Eden organic pinto a beans.

They’re beans. Pinto beans, specifically. You warm them up to your desired temperature, you eat them, and later pass some gas. All around a good time. I’m no pinto bean connoisseur, I honestly don’t know if there are better pinto beans out there, but I enjoy eating these, and I eat them often enough that buying a case of 12 cans at a time makes enough sense to me that I’ve done so more than once. I usually have them with chicken, sometimes rice, and some various Mexican-style flavorings, or just some hot sauce. I’m sure you have your own recipes in mind or you wouldn’t be here. Makes for a nice hearty meal without a lot of fuss or prep time. Tastes good. Some of the oligosaccharides feed the bacteria in your large intestines for hilarious results. What more do you want me to say?

Very good product. Safer the cans.
