EdenOrganic Black Soybeans, 15 oz Can, Complete Protein, No Salt, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Kosher, U.S. Grown, Heat and Serve, Macrobiotic, Soy Beans

I really like these black soybeans and wish they were available in stores. They are pretty low carb, and are good in salads, as a side dish, or however you usually use those beans that you've been missing. They could have a little salt added, though.

Great for making natto in Instant Pot!!!Please don't ever discontinue!!!To make natto, I rinsed the beans wells and drained in a colander to remove the liquid. The beans don't need to be completely dry like they do when making tempeh. The beans do need a bit of moisture. After rinsing, it still had a little of the gelatanous stuff that some reviews complained about, but the natto still worked fine.I used an Instant Pot Ultra Mini, 3 qt, yogurt mode. For the temperature, I had to set in it in the Custom mode to 104 degrees, which is the lowest mine would go in Custom mode. Set the time for 24 hours, then press start. I think for other models of Instant Pot, the setting of the temperature in yogurt mode might be different. You can use a yogurt maker, toaster oven, or anything that will constantly maintain the temperature between 100 to 104 F.I first covered the pot with a kitchen linen to catch any condensation. Then I put on a pot lid that fit the container. I did not use the Instant Pot lid; I think the natto spores do need some air.Nice and stringy at the end of 23-24 hours. Put in a glass container with cover, and put in the fridge for another 24 hours to ferment some more. Lots of internet information on making natto using an Instant Pot if you are curious. Instructions online emphasize using boiling water to sanitize the pot and utensils to avoid growing bad bacteria. I'll admit that I am not that diligent.I've tried two different brands of Japanese Natto spores, and both worked great. Links below. Just a note probaly best not to pour boiling water on the little tiny plastic spoons that come with the spores. Just do your best to only allow the spoon to touch the spores and the wrapper it came with.I've made the Natto in the past with cooked organic canned black beans because I didin't want to deal with the added step of soaking and cooking the beans. You can use any beans actually. But I was excited to find these organic canned soybeans for the phytoestrogens.Natto spores that I've used:https://a.co/d/ig1OZ1Hhttps://a.co/d/2K723xh

I got these as a dietary supplement, eating 1/2 cup per day to address perimenopausal concerns. The science supports reduction of various symptoms as well as effectiveness in weight loss at 1/2 cup per day, but it must be actual adult soy beans, not edamame or tofu for example, thus why I purchased these. I do feel AMAZING eating a half-cup for breakfast every day, I just season it with a little salt and pepper and either garlic powder or everything-but-the-bagel seasoning, and zap it in the microwave for 30-45s. The beans are a bit firm, as other reviews have mentioned, but that doesn't bother me, and I suppose you could just cook them more to soften them. But I am just using them as a quick morning meal that starts my day on the right track. My mood, in particular, has been even steven, and as well these certainly affect the way I eat the rest of the day (in the healthier direction!). I do not have hot flashes (...yet...) but if you read the research, 1/2c of soybeans per day significantly mitigates hot flashes in an astonishing percentage of women. BUT, since I am measuring out a half cup per day, I can say with assurance that there are only 3 total servings per can, not 3.5, so if you are buying these beans with the same purpose as I am, you will need 2+ per week. Anyway, they are delicious and make me feel great so I recommend them and will keep buying them!

I live a low carb lifestyle for several years now and one of the things I really miss are beans of all kinds. This product cannot be found on any of my local store shelves. My only option to have them, is Amazon and I am grateful! They are quite good! I now can have Keto friendly Spanish or Mexican flavored dishes with cauliflower rice and black soy beans. Or meaty, spicy, black soy bean chili which I now make every month! It's great to have these options. If you are like me and have to continue to keep carbs VERY low to keep weight off, put these on Subscribe & Save like I do, and enjoy some beans now and then!

These are OK by themselves. They are fairly sweet, so if you are looking for a bean to use as just a side of beans on a plate, these are not going to work great, though they would be passable with enough salt or other flavoring. Even adding salt or lemon or vinegar to offset it just makes it taste like a sweet lemony/salty flavored bean.These do work great, however, to replace beans in a combined dish. I made refried beans with these, and used them in breakfast burritos (using la tortilla factory low carb tortillas of course).. And boy that worked amazingly. You can have a bacon, bean, egg, and cheese breakfast taco that is only 4 net carbs with these ingredients.Or using these in a chili works well. Anything like that; these seem to be a great alternative. And I really want to find a way to make some Chinese sweet bean pastry with these, the natural sweetness of these would work well I think - the hard part of course is the pastry bread, so I still don't know what I would use for that.

I have been looking for canned soy beans but there aren't many choices. So I bought this even though I thought the price was a bit high. But it didnt disappoint. First I drain the liquid and add a little tomato juice to blend it into a creamy paste then cook it an additional 2-3 minutes in the microwave. This will minimize or remove any chance of gas and bloating for me (have been suffering from digestive issues for a very long time). I add salt and vinegar as seasoning. It's delicious and loaded with nutrients.
