Amy's, Refried, Pinto Beans, Gluten Free, Organic, Vegetarian, Traditional, 15.4 oz, Pack of 12

I have a number of food allergies and it has been almost impossible to find a canned baked bean product that I can eat. Either the label expressly mentions something that I am allergic to to the ingredients are too nebulous for me to determine exactly what is in the can. I can (and do) make my own but sometimes it is really nice to be able to just grab something out of the pantry to help round out a meal. I have found Amy's products to be one of the best in listing full ingredients. If it isn't clear from the can, I can check their website. If that isn't clear, they are great at responding to queries about their products. That makes a world of difference to those of us who have food allergy issues. The vegetarian baked beans are delicious. I was thrilled to find them at my local Whole Foods but am even more happy to find them in bulk purchase here on Amazon. My local store only carries a couple of cans at a time and I hate to take them all considering there may be others who need this brand, too. I can order a dozen in good conscious here and have them ready for the summer months to add to my picnic menus. With Memorial Day coming up and a pool party and barbeque that my daughter puts on every year, this year I will be bring baked beans (these spruced up a bit with a few more ingredients such as liquid smoke, chopped sauteed onions, and brown sugar) as well as some baked barbeque chicken with quinoa pilaf. The beans are great as is but for a party, I will spend five extra minutes and take them over the top. Update:5/27/15 My case did arrive with 5 dented cans. Interesting, too, as the outer box was pristine. I can only assume that the cans shifted inside the box and dented one another. I used the dented cans first, making sure that they opened with the sound of vacuum. If they hadn't, I would have tossed them. There was no problem and I used the beans to make for our Memorial Day party. I think it is a packaging issue that should be able to be resolved by putting a stronger wrap around the case - probably by the manufacturer rather than Amazon as it is shifting inside their packaging.

The absolute best canned refried beans you can buy. Doesn’t come out like a gel glob. Good texture and taste

This has a wonderful taste and I highly recommend getting them. My only problem is I just went on a low-carb diet and it’s hard just to eat half a pan cause they taste so darn good.

Creamy and dreamy! Beans, beans, the wonderful fruit!

I bought these because the Goya low sodium refried beans I normally purchase have been out of stock everywhere for months. These are a serviceable alternative. They're different from standard refried beans in that they have a decisive flavor profile (mostly like chili) that overpowers the taste of the beans themselves. The texture is also a bit grainier than the Goya refried beans I'm used to. Overall, it's a can of refried beans that's low in sodium and it's not unpleasant, but it's far more expensive and not as much to my liking as what I usually buy.

Delicious and very happy with this purchase!

The beans are great, especially compared with other reduced sodium beans! But every time I order them, most of the cans are dented, sometimes severely. So far, none of them have leaked or had other can issues. But it's worrying.

12 cans of beans are better than 1
