Selected User Reviews For Goya Canned Pinto Beans, 15.5 Oz
My advice is to buy any other pinto bean brand you can find. These are watery, hard, and not at all "creamy," as they claim. Even the image on the can's front is a complete fabrication. The beans don't resemble the image at all. The flavor isn't as "earthy" as it appears on the label. I'd describe it as offensive and nauseating, similar to the smell of a pig sty full of pigs; it tastes like you're kissing the backside of a big orange pig. So . Purchase at your own risk, and if you do, don't forget to pucker up and smooch!.
CNN, MSNBC, and other news outlets have reported on these. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank I have a cellar full of almost every product they sell that has a reasonable shelf life, and I've donated a small 5X8 trailer full to local charities. You should take a look at their offerings.
These beans, as well as the rest of Goya's line, are fantastic. This was my second or third order of these beans, and this time I decided to go with the larger cans, as I was planning on making a couple of batches of chili. Three of the cans had been crushed open, resulting in a huge mess. To distinguish the good cans from the bad, I had to open the box in my bathtub and remove all of the food-covered, soaked labels, then rinse them. I would buy these again, but in the future, I hope they are better protected, packaged, and delivered. This time, I'm glad I didn't order the salsa as well.
For a recipe that required three cans of pinto beans, I decided to try three different brands. Goya, Bush's regular, and Bush's low sodium were among the brands I purchased. Goya was in the middle, with the regular Bush's tasting the best and the Bush's low sodium tasting the worst. Only if the Bush's were out of stock would I buy these again. They weren't bad, but they weren't quite up to Bush's standards.
These beans are always on hand in my kitchen. While I prefer to open and eat a can of Luck's, I reach for the Goyas when I'm making chili or using beans in other recipes. They aren't as seasoned as Luck's and are essentially just well-cooked, plain old beans that allow the seasoning and spices in my recipes to shine through. The cans are well packed-br>br> They're packed with beans, so if the can says 15, go for it. Except for what the canning procedure requires, 5 ounces has always been mostly beans with very little dead space. They come in a clear liquid that is exactly what is needed and drains easily. br>br>The beans always look great, as if they've been carefully sorted and picked through, and they're cooked well without being overly mashed. That's great because if I need mashing for a recipe, I can do it myself. br>br>In my pantry, I keep Luck's for eating straight from the can and Goya for cooking. In their own way, I adore them both.
Over time, goya's quality has deteriorated. Commercialized to an unhealthy degree.
The beans in the can are red-colored and identical to store-bought beans. Pinto beans, brown and regular.
Pinto beans of excellent quality. The beans are not split, but are delivered whole. Excellent sense of flavor.
