These are high quality, dried black beans. I like to make big batches and freeze them in portions for an easy side dish, or to use a part of a more complicated dish. They're always nice and clean, and I have never found any pebbles or anything else that isn't a bean in there. It's nice getting dried beans in bulk, & knowing Ihave them around. This size is a great compromise between little grocery store-sized bags, and the huge 50 lb bag, which is a little overwhelming unless you have a restaurant (yes, I'm looking at you, 40-something lbs of pinto beans in my laundry room).

Purchased this for the Hurricane Melissa Black Relief Fund

We cooked 4lbs. Of black beans every other week, so we know about quality & price... and this beans from Sam’s are the best in the market and the lowest price too!

Plant-based whole foods- so healthy, nutritious and economical.

A friend gave me an America's Test Kitchen Cookbook with a fabulous recipe for black bean soup made from dried beans. It's a summer staple for when it's too hot to cook & a winter staple for when soup hits the spot. With this bag of beans, I'll be making it often. These beans also work great in Calico Beans & Piccadilly.

These beans are just fine. They arrived quickly and taste great. I make beans all the time and saw these so decided to try them since the price for the quantity is very good. Twelve pounds is a lot of beans, but they don't really spoil and we eat them all the time!

Black beans are very good for you. I try to eat some every day, either as the base of a smoothie, or included in a dish. I really prefer working with dried beans as they only require about an hour in a pressure cooker and they're cheaper and more nutritious than canned. (Read: less sodium) These arrived very clean, no pebbles or stones to be found, at least in the bag i purchased. That said, always wash and inspect dried beans before cooking.

I've been looking for a big bag of black beans

We love black beans and always purchase these in Sam's. Especially easy to cook in an Instant Pot and oh-so-delicious!! I also use them to make my special recipe Black Bean Burgers.

Never got my Black Beans order. I call my local sams and absolutely no one was able to help. I am loyal customer of Sams and i will not order online again because if i am missing item am i supposed to just accept a loss.
