Man, those things are good. The only problem that I have with them is that they have too many empty carbs. A whopping 116g per cup with only 29g of that being fiber and 3g being sugar. That is a lot of empty carbs. They do have 39g of protein though. I still love them and just eat them sparingly and never finish all of them.

Fried okra is the most underrated side dish in my opinion

No. They are packed full of nutrients and the carbs you're referring too are complex carbs. Not too mention packed with protein like you said. Empty carbs are sodas, donuts, chips, etc.

Black beans mixed with corn.
Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Black beans look like rabbit pellets.

I find cornbread dressing with gravy to be underrated. Very seldom do I see it offered.

Just an FYI... Those numbers are for dried, uncooked beans. A cup of cooked black beans will be closer to 1/3 of all those numbers.

I'd rather field peas myself, same earthy flavor, but creamer, less chalky. Black beans are served with every semi-southwestern dish out there, but you rarely find field peas.

Our cute Mexican waitress yesterday offered choice of retried, pinto, or black beans. She gave a little smile and nod when she offered the black beans, so we went with that. She was right; they were great.

A can of baby (I like Bush's baby. I don't like the tough shell on the large.) lima beans and a can of corn dumped into one bowl with both packing liquids. Microwave. Using a slotted spoon, plate and sprinkle with Tony's.
