I tried these pinto beans, I figured that pinto beans are pinto beans, right, how can you go wrong with a slightly more generic brand of pinto beans. The thing is that the front of the can does not say anything about having garlic, so even though this product appears to be an unflavored pinto bean, these beans have not too great of a taste, and garlic in itself could not be completely responsible for the slightly strange taste of these finished Sun Vista canned beans, I like garlic, and these beans just taste strange. I do realize that Sun Vista could simply change the seasoning that is added to these pinto beans, then these beans would taste good, and also that some batches taste better than others. The canned packaging on these beans should not appear as an unflavored item, only to have it opened up and have a flavored taste, and the main point that I am making is that it is not a good tasting flavor in my opinion. Second issue with this product, it is not cooked enough, so that the shells on the beans are tough to chew. Before I tried this brand of pinto beans, I ate mostly Bush's pinto beans, the plain old unflavored Bush brand of pinto beans are a complete savory taste compared to this product, and every can of Bush's beans that I have ever opened, are cooked perfectly, so that the pinto beans shells are not a tough to chew addition to a meal. Pinto beans are simply easier to eat and tastier when they are more thoroughly cooked. After eating an 8 pack of these Sun Vista pinto beans that I bought from Sam’s Club, I then bought my usual Bush’s pinto beans again, and I was amazed at how tasty the Bush’s pinto beans were in comparison.
