Our pre-cooked black beans are ready in minutes, making them ideal for busy weeknights. Simply open the can, drain and rinse if desired, then heat on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes or microwave for 90 seconds. For enhanced flavor, sauté with diced onions, garlic, and cumin before adding the beans.
The possibilities are endless with these versatile beans. Create authentic Mexican street tacos, layer them into seven-layer dip, or blend them into creamy black bean hummus. They’re equally delicious in vegetarian chili, alongside rice and grains, or as a protein-rich salad topper.

Questions About Great Value Black Beans
Each 15 oz can contains approximately 3.5 servings based on a 1/2 cup serving size. This makes it perfect for family meals or meal prep for 2-3 individual portions. The entire can provides around 800 calories, offering substantial nutrition and energy for your household.
Rinsing is optional and depends on your preference. Many people rinse canned beans to reduce sodium content and remove excess starch from the packing liquid. However, some recipes benefit from the bean liquid (called aquafaba), which can add body to soups and stews. For most applications, a quick drain and rinse works beautifully.
Yes, our black beans are naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly. They contain only black beans, water, and salt with no animal products or gluten-containing ingredients. They’re an excellent protein source for plant-based diets and safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Our canned black beans are pre-cooked and ready to use in minutes, while dried beans require overnight soaking and 1-2 hours of cooking time. Canned beans offer convenience and consistent texture, making them ideal for quick meals. Both options are nutritious, but canned beans save significant time and energy in the kitchen.
Absolutely! Since our beans are already fully cooked, you can add them directly to instant pot recipes during the last few minutes of cooking or during the natural pressure release phase. This prevents them from becoming mushy. They’re perfect for quick pressure cooker chilis, soups, and rice dishes.
Black beans are among the most nutrient-dense legumes available. Our black beans provide 7g protein and 6g fiber per serving, comparable to pinto and kidney beans. They’re particularly rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins, which give them their dark color. The protein and fiber combination helps with sustained energy and digestive health.
Start by sautéing aromatics like onion, garlic, and bell peppers in a pan. Add the drained beans along with spices such as cumin, chili powder, and oregano. A squeeze of fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro at the end brightens the flavors beautifully. You can also simmer them with a bay leaf and a splash of broth for extra depth.
