Black Beans are sweet tasting with an almost mushroom-like flavor and soft floury texture. 

 

Choose dried beans or beans canned with less sodium. Select dried beans that are dry, firm, clean, uniform in color and not shriveled.

 

Store dried beans at room temperature, in a closed container to protect from moisture and pests. Store canned beans at room temperature - use before date on can.
