Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi! I am looking for bean suggestions. The only kind I have tried are kidney beans I think (the kind in refried beans) and I nearly threw up. The other kind I tried were chickpeas (garbanzo beans) in hummus and it was horrible. I really want to try other kinds. Can someone recommend a good bland tasting bean for me to try? I'm also picky about the texture. The kidney beans had such a gross texture inside to me... Are white beans less strong tasting than black beans? Is there a chart somewhere that explains the different tastes/textures of beans? I'm a vegan who doesn't like vegetables either. (I am one of those unfortunate rare " supertasters " with extra sensitive taste buds) But I am really trying to taste new things and find recipes that will allow me to expand my menu. Thanks!!!

Can > someone recommend a good bland tasting bean for me to try? You might try white beans. They're really mild. But then you might just not be a bean person, and that's okay. How are you with tofu? That's a bean product. > I'm a vegan who doesn't like vegetables either.

Wow, that sounds like a rough row to hoe. Best of luck to you. serene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Thanks for the replies! I think I'll try some white beans...and maybe it's true, i'm just not a bean person! I can eat tofu if it's frozen first then cooked pretty thoroughly, I can't eat it when it's all slimy. And I eat silken tofu in recipes a lot too. Thanks for the advice!!
