Vent: My friend swore by dried beans but I thought canned were fine

She gave me a bag of pintos and said to try them, cost me about $1.20. Cooked a big batch in my slow cooker last weekend and the flavor was way better, plus I got like three meals out of it. Anyone else switch from canned to dried and actually notice a difference?

Honestly, that part about the flavor being way better is what convinced me to switch. I read canned beans have way more sodium.

My aunt used to make this killer bean dip from scratch. She'd simmer dried pintos for hours with a ham hock. The smell filled her whole apartment. Canned refried beans taste like salty paste in comparison, no contest.
