The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

Don't have much experience with beans, but I quite like black turtle beans. Still struggling with making them, though. The canned beans often fall apart and I haven't yet tried with dried beans, as those are quite the commitment to prepare. 😅

Beans falling apart is a good thing! They turn into the sauce for other things in that way and is my favorite thing about beans

Well, the black turtle bean specifically has a hard 'shell', so you use it when you don't want the beans falling apart, like in burritos or salads.

That's also part of the reason why I think they're neat, they just look damn aesthetic:

But interesting point nonetheless. I have been trying them in tomato sauce, and maybe the hard shell is holding them back in that case...
