Let's talk about beans. Pinto beans. String beans. Coffee beans. Chocolate beans.

Beans everywhere, beans all the time.

I would rather cook my dried beans from scratch. But this article has some arguments for when canned beans are superior.

Agreed on most everything.

Canned beans = convenience. Sometimes I get an urge to eat beef weiners (I love meat by products) or spam and I like having them with a bowl of beans for work lunch. Usually pintos or black eyed peas. This happens on a whim so grabbing a can of beans is a perfect fit.

I do keep my own homemade beans in vacuum sealed packs in the freezer. Usually ranch style type or my own Mexican pinto/Anasazi bean recipe. It's just somehow a can of beans seems to be a perfect match for my meat by-product of choice.
