Organic Black Bean Fettuccine Pasta - High Protein, Keto Friendly, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Non-GMO, Kosher, Low Carb, Plant-Based Bean Noodles - 8 oz (1 Pack)

I bought these for their nutritional profile - like everyone right now I’m looking to get a little more protein and more fiber. I like to eat as plant-based as I can and my husband with type 2 diabetes watches his carb intake, so these noodles are great for all of the above! Prepared the black bean fettuccine as specified on the box, boiling to the longer cooking time and rinsing in cold water. The flavor of the noodle is very neutral - which is what I want when using noodles. I used the noodles with a pasta sauce and meatballs, and I’m using them also for a noodle bowls with added veggies and tossed with a sesame ginger salad dressing (as pictured). I think the noodles are really versatile, they don’t stick together and they don’t fall apart or get mushy. The texture is chewier than a traditional noodle, but it’s a texture I like and I think it works especially well in the noodle/veggie bowl format, either warmed or cold. I’m making a box each week, keeping the noodles in the fridge and using them with different veg/greens/salad dressings for lunches. The black bean fettuccine seemed just slightly thicker than The Only Bean edamame fettuccine which I also bought and liked a lot.

Wanted a pasta that is low carb so tried their black bean products (which they don't disclose from China not US). Not tasty and even though followed directions on cooking very limp and mushy. Will not rec and will not buy again. Thank you.

It’s new to us so the texture was a little different to me it taste like chick pea pasta. We will definitely try again

Worked great for creepy Halloween spaghetti. Tastes good despite feeling a little flat in flavor compared to other gluten free pasta. Like the high protein. I would buy again in the future.

For people with diabetes or gluten intolerance, non-grain pastas are a godsend, and black bean seems to hold together better than lentil or even chickpea, and cooks VERY quickly. You do not get the same starchy pasta water needed for some sauces (unless you add some flour to the water, or like some restaurants, freeze ice cubes of pasta water when you make starchy pasty to use later!!). Also, while it does not have gluten, it is probably not good for people with FODMAP allergies (beans, cruciferous vegetables -- I would hate to have that!), and it did plug up my digestive system when I ate it several meals in a row. (Drink more fluids than with wheat pasta, and perhaps some soft fiber to offset the bean fiber.). It has more taste than most protein pastas, with a bit of a nutty flavor, which can be good or bad depending on the dish. (Edamame and chickpea are good alternatives, though chickpea has more carbs.)

First, I love black beans. I tasted no black beans in this product. I discerned no taste whatsoever. They did, unusually in a “pasta” product, cook in the time given in the directions on the package. That is the only good thing I can say about this product. Edit: the company reached out to me and offered a full refund because of my dissatisfaction with their product. I accepted and just received an email from them confirming they’d instigated a refund. Obviously they are a thoughtful company and truly want to please customers. I appreciate their offer. I will peruse their other products and keep an open mind. Thanks to their customer service people, they epitomize “Customer Service”!

If I had received the item I ordered I’d give the product 5 stars, (tastes great, high protein, great texture, versatile, cooks fast, on time delivery) but I ordered a 6-pack of the black bean fettuccine, and instead received 6-pack of the edamame fettuccine. As the item is not returnable, I was directed to the Only Bean product support website. I filled out their form, gave all my info, explained the problem, and offered to submit a photo if directed where to send/upload one. I’ve heard nothing and it’s been several days (upon submission, the site indicated there would be a resolution within 24 hours.) I explained that I’d be fine with either a refund or just a replacement…either or; I’ve received neither, and not a word from Customer Service. At this point, I’m irritated, and simply want my money back. Additionally, I had to make a special trip to the grocery store to purchase the black bean fettuccine. Next time, I’ll just order by the individual box, as I have not had problems with those. Sadly, that’s far less cost effective, which means I’ll buy less of your product, as I have to have confidence I’ll get what I order, and not have this sort of hassle in getting my money back (or worse, not get it back at all) if there is a shipping error of some sort. I’m not sure if the 6-pack boxes are miscoded thru Amazon fulfillment/supply chain, or if this was a one time error. Needless to say, one non-refundable mistake, still unresolved, is enough for me. Fulfillment mistakes should not cost the customer, regardless of the return policy. The Only Bean customer service/product support site has failed to offer any recourse as of yet. So while you I think they have great products, the unreliable delivery (possibly Amazon), poor customer service response (Only Bean support site) with no refunds (Amazon) makes them a gamble. Products - 5 stars Reliability - 2 stars Customer Service - 0 stars Overall - 2 stars
