* A good bean replacement for low carb. Not as tender as regular bean.

* I was not sure about Soy black beans, but tried them, Now these have become a staple in my Kitchen, they are unsalted, and I make a lot of Low carb soups, and chili, and slow simmer, and the beans taste like regular beans in any recipe....

* Use this quite often in low carb recipes, great quality and decent price. Very happy with Netrition.

* These are pricey, not just here but anywhere, but they're worth it. I use them to make chili and it saves me a ton of carbs.

* These black soy beans are hard to find where I live, so I’m thankful to be able to find them at Netrition. They are the lowest carb bean I’ve found that I like, so will be using them for chili, taco salad etc.

* These beans are a Mexican low carber's dream! I love my beans, but living a low carb lifestyle, beans don't necessarily fit my macros, up until now! 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!

* Very tasty indeed. These beans are quite similar in taste to regular black beans, I wouldn't have known they are low carb. They are rather small, but a welcome addition in chili and Mexican dishes!

* If you are low carb, these are great. I make baked beans, use them in summer salads.

* I use these to make refried beans for my mexican recipes and for chili and they are great!

* I bought these beans to make refried beans. They were amazing.

* I am very impressed with these beans. They are a little bit hard, so I cooked them for a little while and made Chili with them. Much better than having no beans at all.

* 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.

* Low carb Chili w/beans on a frigid winter day...amazing! By them self as a side is ok with seasoning, but I buy these regularly specifically for chili.

* These are good. I made chili and used a whole can, couldn't tell they were not regular black beans.

* I'm doing Low Carb and I'm using them the same way I use other beans, Refried, Chili,Soups and salads. Very good and they keep me on LC Track.

* Normally when following the low carb lifestyle, I just make my chilli's with meat. Eden Foods black soy beans, allows me to get the full chilli beans and meat comfort I've been missing. They're good in any mexican dish or soup. Great lower carb option when you want beans.

* I was so happy to find these beans on Netrition. I can't find them locally. The really are quite versatile and tasty.

* I read about these in a low-carb cookbook, and still felt a bit skeptical when I tried them, but I'm truly thrilled to have found these. 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...

* These fantastic beans are a must-buy if you are trying to manage your weight on a low-carb diet. Not only do they taste great, they have only 3.5g of Carbs per can. We use them to make Chili and refried beans. We don't look back on buying the high-carb beans anymore as we noticed no taste difference at all between the two.

* These are EXCELLENT if you are cooking low-carb. They are not the same as other beans, but a great substitution. I buy them all the time and will continue to.

* 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.

* I cautiously used these black beans in my low carb chili, afraid that mere soybeans might ruin the taste. My worries were unfounded as they had the taste and mouthfeel of other beans. Next time, I will be using 2 cans!

* Delicious. I used them in a chicken dish and they added great flavor and texture.

* I love these on a taco style salad, or in place of refried beans for a low carb burrito.

* I absolutely love this product! They taste just like black beans and they are delicious in chili. These are definitely a staple in my pantry because they have only 1 net carb per serving.

* I enjoyed these beans much more than a regular black bean. I can now enjoy chili and soups with these low carb beans. In addition, they are an excellent source of fiber which is something most of us are lacking in our daily diet.

* I love these! I use a can in my low carb chili con carne recipe and no one can tell the difference!

* I use these in my strawberry green smoothies for added protein and fiber. I also use these in a bean soup. I blend them up, along with oven roasted onion,celery,carrots,garlic and a bit of salt with water to get the consistency I want. They are a quick, filling and hearty meal. I also combine them with refried beans on my low carb burritos. Highly recommend.

* 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.

* I use these beans a lot. They are great for baked beans as well as in chili.

* Been using Eden black soy beans for years and really like them, but can't get them locally. Try them in chili, re-fried beans, baked beans (the best), sub for kidney beans in lettuce salads (good), and in navy bean or bean soup (with ham, smoked turkey, etc.). You may want to cook them longer but I also use them right out of the can.

* Beautiful! These beans are awesome and taste better than black beans. We loved the texture too. Will be buying these regularly as they aren't available locally. Boy I hope the carb count is accurate because these are great.

* Perfect for those who choose low carb. I use these in place of other beans in chili and have made baked beans with them for a bbq (they would be best cooked in a slow cooker all day). Just reordered so I could try making a recipe for black bean burgers that I just came across.

* Very impressed with these soy beans! They are not black, which I found interesting. They look like a basic pinto bean and to me they taste about the same. 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. :~}

* We live a low carb lifestyle and LOVE these beans!!!

We make chili with them and can hardly tell the difference between them and ordinary black beans. We've even mashed them to make refried beans that are wonderful!

We heartily recommend Eden Foods Black Soy Beans to anyone looking to reduce their net carb intake!

* I like Eden Black Soy Beans because they are low in sodium and low in carbs. They also have no sugar which is good for diabetics. I use them in my Mexican recipes with brown rice or Quinoa (keen wah). I also use them in my 3-bean salad.

* I ordered one can and I used it to make my Texas chili and it was delicious! This time I am ordering more cans!

* Eden Black Soy Beans are delicious! If you're on a high protein, lo carb diet, these are a must. They're high in fiber and you won't worry about the carb count in regular beans. I love the taste.

* These are a terrific low-carb substitute for regular beans. I use them to make chili and soup.

* Highly recommend!

* One of the things I missed about a low carb diet was chili, these Eden Black Soy Beans are just as good as kidney or black beans for making chili! Cooking time is a little longer but really worth the wait!

* These beans are wonderful as long as you cook them long enough to soften them. They take much longer than regular canned beans. I use them in chili, barbecue beans, and even re-fried beans.

* Most excellent in low carb chili!!

* 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?

* My folks came from Kansas, and I was raised with a big pot of "ham and beans" (made with white navy beans) on the menu Now, I make them "my way", and it really satisfies one of my missed "comfort" foods. Still miss the cornbread though ! I also use them in other soups, salads, and make a Low Carb version of "Baked Beans", bacon, onions and all. Yummmy Lov'em

* Finally a really good low carb chili with these beans. No "side-effects" from these beans.

* 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.

* I like to mix these with taco meat for low/no carb taco salad! Yummy!

* These are really great in a low carb chili. I have also made a sugar free baked bean dish with them and was very satisfied. The calories are not great, but the protein you get and the negligible amount of carbs makes these beans really worthwhile.

* I love these! They taste like black eyed peas. I melt butter, add some salt and eat them alone, or mix in some eggs and cheese and put them in a low carb tortilla for a breakfast burrito.

* I use this a lot in chili. I like beans in my chili, but the usual beans I find are too carby for my needs. These are very low in carbs and take well to the chili flavor. There is no funky soy flavor. One of the products I always order more of just to keep my stock up.

* These are great beans! I have used in dips, soups, chili and low carb "mexican" dishes. I wish that they were available in the stores, as I only order about twice a year...

* I recently ordered these to make low-carb chili... Well, I just tried them on their own, poured them right into a saucepan, added some chili powder and a pinch of salt, boiled them for a few minutes to remove some liquid and to concentrate the flavor. Then sprinkled some grated cheddar cheese over them, and they were FABULOUS!!!

* These are so good I use them in chili all the time and they are superb. Perfect for a Type 2 Diabetic or even a dieter.

* Sort of tasteless in themselves, but they are really good when you use them in recipes like chili or "baked beans." (I like to make a bean dish with sugar-free ketchup, bacon, a little onion, a drop of liquid sweetener, and the soy beans.)

* 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 were wonderful in a chili recipe I made. I had been missing beans and these hit the spot nicely. I have since ordered 4 cans so I have some on hand for future recipes for things such as tacos and chili and omlettes.

* 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.

* Very good in recipes for a low carb diet. Try them!.

* This is a great product. I use it in chili and to make "black bean salsa and salad". It's great for low carb food plans. I highly recommend it.

* The Eden Foods Black soy beans are great for bean dip, and a life-saver for low carb chili!

* 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.

* Love these with sugar free salsa, a dollop of sour cream and jalapenos! Regular beans have too many carbs for my personal needs... these do trick! They are fantastic in Chili, too!!

* These were excellent in chili and the carb count is very low. A keeper, will be reordering!

* I make my traditional Texas Cowboy Beans using these beans and they are scrumptious! I took them to a cookout and they were eaten and loved and nobody knew they were low carb. Several people asked me for my recipe! This is a great product.

* I love these beans in my low carb chili recipe! Taste and texture are good. Just don't overcook them.

* I use these beans for low carb chili and they are great!

* These beans are great tasting and go well with any meal. I added 1 Tlb. of diced tomatoes and a little bit of jalapeños.

* I really like these. I have used them in a baked bean recipe I have and a low carb chili recipe and both were great. They are very healthy and taste really good. You cant beat that. I highly recommend them.

* I enjoyed these very much in a low carb CHILI that I made. I really love beans and these are a very close substitute and so healthy too!!! I would recommend to others.

* I use the soy beans to make a low carb chili. My husband and I think they taste great. I have also used them to make a mexican bean and chicken soup. The beans are hearty and do not break down. I highly recommend this product.

* Used them in chili, great substitute for beans. They are really tasty. Give them a try.

* I have never liked "soy" taste in foods so didn't try these for the longest time, but now I have and I'm so glad I did!

As you would guess this is a good substitute for beans in a chili recipe, but I was thrilled to find out how well they work in my lentil recipes too.

* Very good. I eat them along with my low carb diet.

* These beans are wonderful - taste good. I made a dip and chili from them. Would definitely recommend.

* I am a bean FANATIC and have been missing them since going low carb 5 years ago. These are super low carb, and make the best chili's and casseroles ever. If you love beans, this product is a high-quality MUST TRY item.

* I made chili with these and it turned out great. I'm going to try burritos next. Finally a low-carb alternative to pinto beans!

* Wow, if you are craving good homemade chili and are avoiding the high carbs, then you should try this product. It's healthy, very tasty, and you will not notice the difference using the soybeans vs the kidney beans. I substituted low carb tomato sauce in my chili along with the soy beans, and it was a thick delicious meal. You can't go wrong!

* These soy beans are great tasting and great for you. I put them on taco salads and in chili.

* Amazing! I just got these and made chili last night and now 3-bean salad tonight using the black soy beans, and wow!! Both turned out great!! This product adds a new dimension to low carb, and I would highly recommend to anyone who is skeptical.

* Great tasting bean for a low carb chili.

* These are the very best black soy beans on the market.(and I have tried several) I am a veteran of low carbing and make a killer low carb chili using these beans. My entire family loves chili made with Eden Soy beans. I have also used them to make low carb refried beans by adding a can of Hatches chilis to them with some Mexican seasonings. YUM. Low-carbing just doesn't get any better when you have great products to work with.

* Great addition for chili, very filling and taste great.

* What a wonderful product! Not being much of a soy fan, I was skeptical, but my mind has been changed. When my family began a low-carb eating plan, other canned beans were too high in carbs to work for us... which meant my recipes for chili and soups were pretty much out. 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!

* I use Eden Black Soy Beans in Chili, and soup. It's great in both of them, and the family enjoys the meals as well.

* Fantastic! I finally found a way to make LC chili this fall without all the carbs of kidney beans! Hooooray! These worked so well for me and I'll be getting them again and again. They will be very versatile staples in my cupboard. Highly recommend if you miss legumes but don't miss the high-carb butt! Ha ha ha ........

* I've been using Eden's Black Soy Beans for several years. After moving to Florida, from New Jersey, I was having trouble finding them in the supermarket. Thanks to Netrition, they are once again a staple in my pantry. I use them in all my bean recipes, chili, burritos, soups, ect... They taste great, are low carb/high protein. A netritional bombshell. A definite MUST for diabetics & vegetarians. What more could you ask of a food? My friends & family love them. If you mix Black Soy Beans & Dreamfield's pasta with vegetables in a minestrone soup...WOW!!!!!

* These beans are great! While most beans are loaded with complex carbs, these have high fiber content and VERY LOW carbs -- less than I have found in any other bean product. Great in Mexican dishes and chili. Highly recommend! Excellent quality as well (as with all other Eden Foods products).

* Really quite tasty, you wouldn't know they are soy. Picks up flavors such as spices, so you can put them in chili, salads, even mashed for a burrito. They will be a staple in my pantry.

* My Cuban husband and his family love pulled pork, black beans, and rice but I had not cooked it since I had been low-carbing. Then I found these great black (soy) bean. They are wonderful. A little less tender than regular black beans, but I cook them a little longer and add my own favorite spices and flavor enhancers. The family loved them and so did I (and I just skipped the rice).

* As long as you use these in a flavorful recipe, these are great. They do not have as much flavor as regular beans, so I would never eat them plain, but they add variety to a low carb diet.

* They really add to the texture of my chili.

* After rinsing, these are wonderful in any dish that calls for beans, especially chili and baked beans. They are high in protein, and low in carbs.

* A tasty way to get your soy fiber! I add a little cumin and chili powder to make "chili" beans and garnish with a little fresh cilantro. Also add to my low-carb homemade chili recipe for more fiber.

* These are fantastic! They are great to use in any soup or chili recipe you have, and go great with any Mexican dish, too. A great low carb way to still have beans and TONS of protein to boot!

* My hubby and I are both diabetic, so a low-carb diet helps us control our blood sugars. Using these beans allows us to have chili, and make other dishes that require beans without upping the carbs so much. They're very tasty.

* These taste great and are totally low carb. Finally, I can have beans in my chili, again ... Yeah!!!

* The health benefits of black soy beans are phenomenal, but they can be hard to find. My local grocery store does have this same can, but it is $1 more each, so the price on Netrition is great. These are good tossed in salads or heated up and served as a side dish with butter and parmesan cheese. I also serve them Mexican style with shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream.

* These are a great substitute for the usual kidney or pink beans we miss! The plus is that they are almost all protein & fiber! I use these in chili; I also drain and rinse them and add them to pasta salad (using Dreamfields pasta); and I add them to many casseroles too.

* I used these beans in my favorite low carb chili recipe and they added just the right touch. 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.

* I made chili with these beans and it was great. They are a little "crisper" than most canned beans, and I did have to add more spices than normal because they are very plain tasting, but they are a great low-carb alternative and did not raise my blood sugar levels. I would definitely order this product again.

* I made baked beans with these. I added sweet and low brown sugar (1 teaspoon), onion flakes, a slice of bacon on top and low carb ketchup on the bacon. Baked it for 45 minutes and was thoroughly pleased with the results. Did not thicken up but was tasty and very low carb. This is a buy again product.

* Awesome! I use them with ground pork and Taco seasoning and put it over a salad! Delicious!!!

* These are OK. But in chili... Wonderful! Great in dips, mashed.

* I agree that these beans were hard to mash to make refried beans, but I believe that if you simmered them with spices for long enough they would mash better. I simmered them for approximately 20 minutes and it helped, but I was in a hurry. They still made fabulous nachos. I am ordering them again and will try again. I am also looking forward to trying them in chili. This is a wonderful low carb substitute for beans.

* I just made chili with these and no one could tell that these were soy beans. There is no smell that it typically associated with wet soy products. These are a great source of dietary fiber and protein (1/2 cup provides about 25% of the daily requirement of both)!

* A great option for low carbers. I came close to giving it a 5, but, in truth, it's not quite as good as kidney beans on my tostada, but it's close. Good enough I've made the switch & would recommend it to others!

* I love this product. It is high in fiber which makes it low carb. I had been missing beans since starting the low carb way of life but since finding these I do not miss having beans anymore. I do add some seasoning but that is it. I use then in any recipe that calls for beans. I even mash them and make refried beans with them.

* Outstanding product. I ordered my first can based on the nutritional info (very important info which some on-line companies do not show). I was very surprised at how good the product is and placed another order. The beans mix well with other beans, but are also good alone. I find that I have to add a little seasoning when I use them alone.

* If you want something that just looks like beans, this is the ticket. But they do not have the flavor or texture of normal beans. I tried making refried beans with them, they wouldn't mash right, and even with all the fat and salt they were inedible. I also tried them whole and they were equally bad.

* Make chili all the time. This soy bean has been perfect for it. We make a huge pot once a week - and I'd be lost without my low carb bean! Enjoy the flavor and texture of these beans. My family has no idea it's a soybean - and they eat every last one in their bowl. That's a good sign!

* I use these in about all my "bean" recipes. No one even notices!

* My husband and son are VERY picky. I just knew they would hate the chili I made using the black soy beans. WELL I was wrong. They ask me to make it now!! These beans are EXCELLENT!

* We use these in absolutely everything! They have very little flavor on their own and really take on the flavors of what you're cooking, so they're good in many different kinds of dishes. Try them crushed with some spices in a low-carb bean burrito!

* These are delicious and they make a wonderful low-carb chili! Even my picky teenager eats them!
