Wait, you’re saying you can get the same “nutrition to cost” value out of wet beans? I assumed you meant dry beans (and this would need to soak and actually cook them).
This might just be location specific, but wet beans are much more expensive (in terms of calories per dollar) compared to ramen every where I’ve seen (lived in South West and Mid Atlantic of US).
Are you saying that’s not the case where you’re at?
Different people have different tastes, as they say. I do not like beans in general, but I am fine with refried beans and black beans in Mexican food and beans in chili. And I guess if chick peas count as a bean, since they’re also called garbanzo beans, I enjoy hummus and falafel. But like a side of lima beans or whatever? Bleah. And green beans are just disgusting to me.
One of my favorite meals is beans, sausage, and rice with some hot sauce mixed in. It’s such a nice comfort food, and it’s incredibly cheap and pretty nutritious.
But actually though. Spicy Red beans and rice is delicious, black bean burgers, anything with chick peas like hummus wraps or chick pea fritters, vegetable tacos and burritos with black beans… there are loads of things.
I very much like red beans and rice when it’s particularly spicy. Can add some sausage for heartiness too
Tomato soup with kidney beans can make it way more filling and gives the taste more body. Other less-western combinations with tomato work as well; like rice / beans, some sweet pepper, onion / tomato mixed sauce (perhaps even add apple or banana).
Otherwise stuff like Burritos and Chili recipes are always great.
Thanks, I want something that’s like 90% beans, not just something that have beans in it like burrito and chili. Like those “English breakfast” beans in red sauce.

Good thing I’m a nutrient consuming robot who just needs fuel to power my circuits and not a human who has to taste things.
Frankly I don’t know why the grocery store has anything other than just beans. It would save so much time.
Because it’s easier to make, easy to clean up, and NOODLES!

Taste?
Depends on the beans. Some taste really good on their own, others are very bland.
Beans + Ramen packet = 🤯
Where I live dried beans are usually about on par with ramen, but not canned beans.
Maybe they don’t like beans. I don’t generally like beans unless they’re in something else.

Not even in Mexican food?

Ground beef and flour. If I weren’t allergic to wheat and all carbs didn’t give me diarrhea then i could make a million meals out of those.

do you have any noob-friendly recipes for beans? More specifically, some western style (US or Europe)?
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Because beans don’t offer as good nutrition compared to instant ramen
