I’ve never met a bean that wasn’t a horrid texture. If you have a recommendation for how to prep them so they aren’t absolutely disgusting, I’d love to know because it would be nice to expand my food options, especially currently while I’m financially struggling.
I’ll have to give them a shot. I used to hate hummus until I had some at a Greek place that made their own and discovered that it could be good. I’ll have to try roasting because I do like crunchy snacks.
Yeah, I meant like most beans end up having a gritty texture to them. The one time I had proper hummus it didn’t have that issue, so I’d assume properly roasted ones would also be ok.
I don’t know your life experience or what will work for you. But I spent 20 something years of my life gagging at beans. Now I will eat beans in most forms, except refried. I felt just like you, the texture was gross. I started with chilis and soups that had beans in it, but also other stuff to not focus on. Gradually I tried more and more bean dishes and have grown to enjoy them.
Yeah, I have tried many, the texture still gets me every time. I’m hoping one day I’ll be find a preparation that isn’t horrible. I picked up some dry beans recently so I can see if making them from scratch is better because there’s been more than once where a pre-made version repulsed me but a homemade version turned out OK, I just need to find some good prep instructions.
I’ve dealt with being stupidly sensitive to flavors everyone else likes basically my entire life and you’re the first person I’ve come across to also not like beans in general. I do hate the texture too, but I’m pretty sure that’s just by association with me not liking the flavors and if I had liked the flavors I wouldn’t have learned to hate the texture.
i agree that beans have horrible texture and flavor, but their point about not fitting the mold of the fake quote doesn’t have anything to do with relative palatability
Honestly, I’m not sure why I did. ADHD moment where I only processed the part about beans being cheaper and more available and missed the rest of it, would be the most likely one.
that doesn’t really work, cake was both far more expensive and less available than bread whereas beans are both cheaper and more available than eggs
Except that beans are grainy and gross and eggs are delicious and have a great texture that doesn’t immediately make me gag…this timeline sucks.

Mostly grainy mushiness, especially if it doesn’t feel like it matches the taste.

i’ve heard that if you let the beans sprout, they cause less gas?
