What is GOYA black bean?
Black bean is the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in its black variety, widely used in Caribbean and Latin American cooking. It is also called frijoles negros or caraotas negras in Spanish, black beans in English, feijão preto in Portuguese and pwa nwa in Haitian Creole. This GOYA tin contains only black beans, water and salt: it is already cooked, unlike dried black beans, which need soaking and long cooking. Its texture is soft, its taste mild and lightly salted.
How to use it?
Drain and rinse the beans, then reheat them for a few minutes with onion, garlic and spices. In Haiti, diri kole (sticky rice) combines long-grain rice and black beans cooked together with garlic, thyme and chilli; find the recipe on the NKOSI blog. In the Caribbean and Latin America, black bean also accompanies white rice (rice and black beans, arroz congrí), soups, purées and taco fillings. Once the tin is opened, do not store the beans at room temperature.
