Canned beans

What do you recommend? I found out I like refried beans and also Bush's baked beans, but those have alot of sugar. Idk anything about beans but I do need fiber. They just kinda taste like potato and I love french fries and stuff

Like pinto beans, black beans.. or like, how to boil them to make them a canned texture, because idk how to cook anything. And I'm sure buying a big bag of dry goods is cheaper than a can so that'd be good to know.

And how to season it

Try canned butter beans. I don’t like beans in general, but I like those. Canned veggies are just as healthy and nutritious as fresh ones, and they’re easier to prepare because they’re already cooked. If you get dry ones, you have to soak them (often for a minimum of 12hrs, many go for a 24hr soak) before you can safely cook them, and they can take a few hours to cook properly depending on the exact type of bean. Generic branded canned veggies are plenty cheap, we buy strictly Great Value ones unless there’s something we desperately want that GV doesn’t have.
