Honestly, prior to the integration of the Real Foods and Vegetarian menus I had rarely used black beans in our past menus. But the more menus I add the more I see black beans making a regular appearance on our menus. Additionally, Katie of a Kitchen Stewardships Everything Beans Book was an added encouragement to do some comparison and contrasting of black beans. And from what I can tell, black beans will be a regular part of monthly menus from here on out. So I haven’t had the chance to do all the beans yet, but for black beans here are the equivalents and yields:
