My friend, you would acquaint yourself with lentils. Very cheap and super high in protein, they taste great and work on a variety of foods.

This is a particulaly good food with lentils (I eat it with tortilla chips) but lentil soup is fine too

Hold up, have you seriously never had refried beans? They're good on nachos and in burritos (even the canned ones), so they're usually served with some kind of cheese. I can't speak to how well that translates with the vegan stuff, but a dead simple bean burrito recipe would just be refried beans and maybe some rice (seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and a little bit of cilantro) wrapped in a tortilla. If you can find it, red chile sauce (note: this is different stuff from regular salsa or picante) is a nice addition along with the beans and rice.

As for healthiest, that depends on what you're looking for. Possibly black beans for the higher fiber and thiamine content, while garbanzo beans are really high in manganese.

Kidney beans are the tastiest beans. :bean:

Sometimes I eat other beans for variety but they remain the bean champion

What are the tastiest beans?

They've all got different applications. I wouldn't make hummus out of black beans or Refried beans out of navy beans.

Which beans do you personally cook with the most often?

black beans are my number one. I soak garlic in red wine vinegar and add it to the beans.

What are refried beans? They look scary to my dumb cracka ass, do they taste good?

They're delicious. They're like spaghetti Marinara in my mind, food that's always comfortable and delicious.

Literally just Refried beans and rice. Black beans with red-wine-vinegar soaked garlic served with baked yams and kale. Curried lentils with mustard seed, Apricot and coconut. Edamame with salt. Hummus with Tahini mixed in. Succatash.

Which are the healthiest beans?

They're all pretty healthy. I'd say Edamame and sprouted mung beans are both contenders.

What are the tastiest beans?

tbh most beans are very bland and similar, the taste will be coming from the spices and other ingredients used. Texture will vary great, not only among types of beans but also cooking methods. You can bake chickpeas to become crisp on the outside and soft in the middle like a roasted potato, or eat it soft in a salad, or blend it into hummus.

What beans do I personally cook with most?

Chickpeas and soybeans if that counts

Refried beans are just stewed/blended beans usually with a bit of fat and spices. Most grocery stores have vegan refried beans in cans, which are ok in a pinch but could use some spice. They’re usually served as a side at Mexican restaurants with rice.

Roasted chickpeas: take canned or cooked chickpeas, add some salt or tamari or miso, add some spices, lightly oil a baking sheet and cook at 425 for 40 minutes.

Replace chickpeas with diced tofu, go up to 50 minutes as desired for simple roasted tofu.

daal recipes are pretty easy, just look one up

You can start with just the curried chickpeas with spinach and serving it with rice and move up to adding the sides when you're ready. (I don't have a vegan naan recipe that I've liked though if anyone can hook me up)

Which are the healthiest beans?

:vivian-shrug:

beans good

1. I really like Kidney beans, Great Northern beans, and Black Eyed Peas

2. I usually cook with Great Northern Beans or Dark Red Kidney beans

3. Refried beans, or Refritos in Spanish are beans (usually Pinto or Black beans) cooked with some kind of oil (usually an animal fat such as lard, I personally use refined coconut oil) and spices.

4. My favorite bean recipe is super easy, its a White Bean and Kale soup. I start with a basic mirepoix (carrot, onion, celery, garlic - sautee carrots and celery until fragrant, add onion and sautee until translucent, add garlic and sautee until fragrant, add salt and pepper), deglaze with white wine (flambe it if I'm feeling fancy, but its totally just for show), add Great Northern and Cannelloni beans, a big spoon full of white miso paste, and a gallon of your favorite vegetable broth. Simmer until those flavors have time to get to know each other, like 2 hours or so, then add a bunch of roughly chopped kale (the heartier the better) with the thick main stem removed. Simmer until kale is wilted, salt and pepper to taste and serve.

5. They're all pretty great, and variety is the spice of life so try to incorporate a bunch of different ones!

I've been making an :im-vegan: version of this recipe but with canned beans and it's so good
