    Refried black. And I feel this excludes the other beans out there. Are you being a beanist?

    Navy, garbanzo, kidney, white, they all need love as well.

    When you go to Chipotle, they are both good! LOL Black beans are better overall though... more fiber and a bit more nutrition, but eating either is good!

    I love beans! Neither is "worse" or "better" than the other. I make my own (from dried) in large batches. So I alternate a different bean each week. Sometimes, I get real "crazy" and make a mixed batch of navy beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans for 3-bean chili (I know, I'm intense, lol).

    They're all good at what they "do"--high fiber, good protein, and deliciousness.

    this is incorrect.

    lima beans are, in fact, the worst.

    It depends on my mood...

    Being from New Mexico I'm partial to homemade pinto beans...but I do get a hankering for black beans from time to time.

    I think black beans may be slightly higher in antioxidants (note the color) but that's about it nutritionally...

    Take that back right now, sir! Lima beans are great sauteed with bacon grease. True story.

    ok fine. i wont say it publicly but until i taste your bacony beans, my sentiment remains.

    though, i will lean toward believing you....i'm pretty sure bacon grease would make a dog turd taste decent.
