They cook up quickly and easily in an Instant Pot, or they can also be baked in the oven or slow cooker. They are my favorite dry bean, although they have many close seconds.

We love the wide variety in the family of legumes. Plus, within each kind there are endless possibilities when it comes to seasoning and cooking. They really add a lot of diversity to plant-based cuisine.
Eating legumes daily is of great benefit to everyone, but especially critical for diabetics.
The seasoning used in these beans is a good one to add to your collection. It enhances many dishes from burgers to sauces; has a very pleasant smoked flavor; definitely my preference!
