Ever wonder what a particular bean tastes like or in what kind of dish it can be used? Well here is a small list of possibilities:
Black Bean - These beans are a staple of Latin American and Caribbean cuisine, where they're used to make side dishes, soups, bean dips, and salads. They have a strong, earthy flavor.
Cannellini Bean - It's prized for its smooth texture and nutty flavor, and often found in Italian dishes.
Fava Bean - Meaty, strongly flavored beans; they work well in side dishes, soups, or salads. The larger ones are the best.
Great Northern Bean - These mild white beans are often used in cassoulets and stews.
Navy Bean - These small white beans are commonly used to make baked beans, but they're also good in soups, salads, and chili. They're relatively difficult to digest.
Red Kidney Bean - These gorgeous and versatile beans are often used in chili, refried beans, soups, and salads.
Soybean - It's used to make salad oil, tofu, soy sauce, meat analogs, soy milk and cheese, and many other ingredients. The actual beans need to be soaked a long time and are somewhat hard to digest, but they're extremely nutritious.
