What ever goes out of the bean while they dry ...needs to go , I've cooked them from scratch, and added butter and all that to caned beans etc ..the dry bag tastes the best..imo ..and my wife's..then the neighbors...etc . Lol ...... I go to Great Links in order to get my food correct, different stores buy one can each of refried beans, go home open them all up and test sample......same thing I did with tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes .....whatever...... I'm only eating what I think tastes the best ....then its the only thing I buy .....screw the rest
