These taste great, salty and "umami-y", they are good in pretty much any meat dish and any vegetable. I just had some clam in black bean sauce using some cherrystones from here in Rhode Island. Ginger garlic and these beans along with some hot chili peppers makes clams really pop! Chi Chi loves clams and my vet says they are good for her as long as they are cooked.. but no beans for her, she has gas issues, so we rinsed a few for her, as treats. Last week we had local caught Cod with black Bean Sauce....wonderful!. And of course Chicken in Black bean sauce, I add just a little Hoisin to it cause I love the combo, it goes really well with bell peppers. They really do work as far as a digestive aid goes, I have been regular now ever since eating these. I take about 3 to 4 just out of the jar and chew them with a cracker! If you ever had Marmite or Vegemite, it has a similar tang and salty quality just not as salty. Good stuff..stock up!

These beans are a great addition to stir frys and other asian dishes. They are (IMHO), better than buying black bean sauce because they are more of a flavor surprise when you hit one, rather than a continuous black bean flavor experience. I've even made some variations on a caesar dressing recipes with these beans blended in and it adds a great flavor.

I do not live handy to a good Asian market, so I tend to either buy stuff online, or in the supermarkets.

As with spices, the supermarkets tend to charge a LOT more for smaller quantities.

Failing a good Asian market opening up close, this kind of thing is great. It's a huge amount of fermented black beans for Chinese dishes, that costs per recipe a tiny fraction of what they do in the supermarket. The tightly-sealing jar in which they are shipped is also great.

Very cost-effective, and of a good quality for Chinese black bean dishes.

Very good addition to many of my favorite Chinese recipes. I especially like the way the beans are packaged. The plastic container is perfect for storing them. These are superior to others I have purchased at Asian markets.

I wanted to make my own black bean paste and hoisin sauce because I like to know what ingredients go into my food. These beans are of a very high quality and made some wonderful and tasty condiments. I am looking forward to using them again.

Fermented black beans should have a pungent, strong flavor. There is very little flavor in these beans. It was like adding pinto beans to your recipe. I wasted $20.

I've been trying to ferment black beans as good as these for years. Their strong tangy flavor stimulate my taste buds in unique ways. I am now a happy repeat buyer of these wonderful fermented black beans from Hoosier Hill Farm. I use them to flavor dishes that normally would receive soy or plum sauce.
