    * I can't tell you how very much I have missed chili with beans since I don't do carbs, but these beans are delectable ! I was so satisfied with my bowl of red, these beans are tasty and have a wonderful texture. I can have chili again ! Now I want to make hummus out of them, and have several other ideas too. I can't recommend these highly enough !!!!!

    * I used to live near a Whole Foods that carried these, but when I moved away I didn't really want to pay $5 a can on Amazon. I am so happy that Netrition carries these! I've never had them just by themselves, but they taste amazing in all the recipes. If you have no issues with soy. These are the best alternative! Basically a black bean.

    * These are great for low carb diets, they make really good ham and bean soup, chili, and taco filling. I may try the drain and freeze trick another reviewer mentioned. Considering the low carb count, I can't find anything negative to say about these beans. Low carb is a life style, and I'm grateful for products that expand the ability to cook my favorite foods.

    * I like them out of the can but I usually buy them in bulk, dry from Eden Foods. Very filling because of the high fiber content. I soak them overnight in salted water and the next day cook them in fresh, unsalted water. Soaking them in salted water gives them flavor. My favorite bean because they are so filling. High fiber, high protein. Well worth experimenting with, worth trying to increase your bean recipe repertoire.

    * These are about the only beans you can eat any real quantity of on a low carb diet. That is, if the nutritional information is correct...its a little hard to believe the net carb count on them. But there is absolutely nothing to compare them to. Apparently these are the only canned black soybeans on the market...I haven't found any other brand.

    They are unsalted, so they are almost flavorless out of the can. You have to step on them with significant salt and spices, etc.. Great for someone on a super low sodium diet though...but thats not me.

    * If you drain and rinse them and put them in the freezer overnight before you use them, it softens them to the texture of high carb beans. I use these to make New England Baked Beans in the Instant Pot, and for chili. They have become a staple in our low carb diet.

You can literally use them in every single recipe you're used to that involves beans. I boil then for about 15 min to get them super tender and then use them in all Hispanic dishes. Get them!

    * If possible, I would rate this product as a 10. These beans are the foundation for so many wonderful meals that would otherwise not be possible on low-carb diets -- chili, refried beans, bean and cheese burritos (with low-carb tortillas), and just plain beans and cornbread (with low-carb corn muffin mix), and many more. The secret to using these beans is to simmer them on the stove for at least a couple of hours before using them in a recipe. Your family or friends will never guess that these aren't just the same old regular beans. I served my chili using these beans to a group of 16 friends, and the raves never stopped -- "easily the best chili I ever ate," they said. My family's favorite dish is barbecued beans made with Guy's low-carb BBQ sauce and barbecued ribs.

The texture is better than black beans, blends well with other foods, and takes on spices and flavorings quite well. I've used these black soybeans as a base for a lowered carb chili, and added them to other dishes. I'd love to find more recipes for them! BTW, even my regular-diet friends have enjoyed them whenever I've been willing to share...

    * This is a great black bean substitute! They are more hard than the regular grocery store canned beans but the 'secret' to using them is to always have a can that has been opened, rinsed and stored in your freezer. Freezing the soy beans turns them into the softer version you already are familiar with. I always have a 'can' ready to go. Try it! You'll be amazed. Good for refried, dips, soups or chilis.

    * My favorite bean because of high protein and fiber. I use them in my green smoothies (when sweetened with stevia, liquid splenda as well as whatever fruits going in, can't even taste them); I make a filling bean soup with them by grinding them up in the blender with whatever flavorings I put in; I use them in baked beans by adding two cans to one can of regular store-bought baked beans and adding low sugar catsup, garlic, etc. to jazz them up; add them to traditional refried beans to augment fiber/protein, just a great bean. Really wish I could find them locally but glad I can find them here.

Made a big batch of chili, it was fantastic. Now I plan to make "baked beans" and other favorite recipes without using up my carb count for the day. Very good, would recommend it to any bean lover. I have read some bad reviews on the internet, but we all have different tastes. Maybe they agree with me because I was eating soy products when soy wasn't cool. :~}

    * Since low-carbing, we have really missed beans - be they pinto, kidney, black, whatever. I am so glad I decided to try the Eden soy beans. I have used them (so far) in a pot of chili and they worked very well. Was it just like using pinto beans? of course not; but eating cauli mash is not nearly the same as eating mashed potatoes either!

    I have just ordered some more and will be making some into refried beans for our chalupas, and I'll also be using them again in chili.

    My one criticism is that they are rather pricey.

    * We love these beans! They are versatile and I have used them in many recipes. Great cold in a salad with corn, peppers, cilantro, onion, garlic and lime juice. Also I make a Mexican style pureed soup with them. Put drained beans in a blender and add chicken stock, cumin, chile powder and salsa and blend it all and then heat it up. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro - yummo! Loaded with fiber and very healthy.

    * I use these as substitutes for pinto beans for making cowboy ranch style beans in a cast iron skillet on my Texas wood-fired smoker BBQ. With the addition of garlic, chili powder, jalapenos and a little german mustards, these beans came out great. The best Pintos I can find are Bush brand at 18 carb & 7 fiber = 11 net carbs. These black soys are net 1 carb; nothing else comes close & the taste was great. I just ordered several more cans & I have not seen these in the local stores.

    * Most of the time I buy Eden Foods black soy beans in the dry form and cook them myself, but I do like to keep a can or two of this product in the pantry for times when I don't have time to cook the dry ones. For anyone who has ever cooked dry black soy beans, you will know that the real challenge is to get them to be soft. With the dry ones, I add a bit of baking soda and that does the trick. (Yes, I know it destroys some of the nutrients, but it's a trade-off). I have found with the canned ones, the manufacturer apparently has the same issue in getting the beans soft as I do at home. I have purchased cans in which the beans were perfect and other cans where the beans were alright, but not great. Still, I am satisfied with the overall quality of the product but I do think the price is a little high, given that I can make them myself from the dried ones for $.16 a serving (not counting stove energy cost), but we do pay a bit extra for convenience, right?

    * I am so pleased with these beans -- I used them in chili and my DH couldn't tell (he's a VERY picky eater, too!). They do need to be cooked for a while before eating, or they taste a little "mealy". Great for use in taco salads or anywhere else you would use beans.

    * I buy these to use in my low carb chili but they are so delicious I could eat them right out of the can!! I love texture in my food and they have a slight "bite" to them which I love. However, I will tell you that my husband and teenage daughter who are a bit "bland" in the food dept. didn't care much for the slight crunch. I love, love, love these and highly recommend them!

    * When I'm in the mood for mexican food, these black beans and some chicken or beef wrapped in a low carb tortilla hit the spot. They taste good with lots of spices. Haven't tried them plain - heck, I'd probably never eat any beans, refried or otherwise just plain. That gives me the idea to try making a bean salad with some olive oil and vinegar dressing.

    * These are a godsend to those on low-carb diets who crave beans for chili, soups, and the like. They have a great taste and are so easy to use, just open the can. And with Netrition's $4.95 flat shipping rate it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get them sent to you. I always order several cans of these with my other items to take advantage of the low cost shipping.

    * These do not add an overtly soy flavor to the foods that I have used them in. I have baked them blended into a cake batter and what can I say, but yummmo! But mostly use them in my exceptional chili, have added them to soup, enchiladas & tostada salads too. They are not full of sodium and I appreciate that! Very versatile since they are not flavored and they are packed with protein. Give them a try! The possibilities with these are endless.

Then sprinkled some grated cheddar cheese over them, and they were FABULOUS!!!

    * These are a great option for low-carb dieters and diabetics who miss eating beans. However, they do have a harder, almost crumbly texture compared to other canned beans, so they take more cooking to become tender. This is why I gave them a 4 rather than a 5.

    Their texture is not a big deal for chili or soups, especially if you add them early so they have plenty of time to cook. Also, since they are not starchy, you can't rely on them to help thicken your sauce. You'll have to cook it down more or use some Thick'n'Thin.

    But if you want to make re fried beans or a dip, plan on cooking them a long time before trying to mash them. If you don't cook them long enough, they won't mash well by hand. (Maybe you could use a blender or food processor for this...I haven't tried that, since I usually want a semi-chunky texture.)

    As others have noted, they also are a little bland straight out of the can, and take more seasoning than other canned beans. But so far I've been able to get them to taste good in every recipe I've tried.

    * These are so good. I make a bbq bean recipe with bacon and sugar free bbq sauce and onions, even my kids ate this when I wasn't looking! ( I make this for myself, not them!) :) They taste like firm black beans to me. It smells funky when you open the can, just rinse them. They are firm and very tasty. Without seasoning they almost have no flavor. So you can really create whatever flavor you would like by adding seasoning and other things.

    * Black soybeans have been a significant part of my weight-loss/low carb lifestyle for 4 years now. They are an excellent substitute for regular beans (pinto, kidney, etc.) in any recipe requiring beans. I most enjoy them in chili and 3-bean salad, but have also made bean dip from them and ham-and-bean soup. When I serve recipes containing black soybeans to others, they have no idea they've gotten anything different or healthier - I just get rave reviews! High protein, low carb, great taste! Highly recommended.

Now, with the Eden soy beans, we're back up and running. The beans taste great, and friends and family who join us for dinner have no idea they are even eating soy. Thanks for a great product!

My husband and I love chili, but the usual kidney beans or regular black beans that we previously added to our chili became a big no-no when we started our low-carb diets. These black soy beans supply the beans we like, and a lot of nutritional value, without adding very many carbohydrates. Since they are also a no-salt added product, we can also control the amount of salt we consume (very little). I am looking forward to preparing a batch of my homemade bean soup in the future! I have not found any canned soy beans in my local supermarkets, and am happy I can order them on line through Netrition.com.
