Questions and answers

Which is better for tacos?
Both work, but for different jobs. The corn adds sweetness and crunch as a topping. The beans add filling protein, so use them as the main taco filling.
Which has more protein?
The Hanover black beans. Corn is mostly carbohydrate with a little protein, while beans are a standard plant protein source.
Which lasts longer in the pantry?
Both are shelf-stable cans. Hanover states a 365-day shelf life. Store either in a cool, dry place and use by the date on the can.
Is the corn or the beans better for a vegan diet?
The Hanover beans are labeled vegan and gluten free. The corn fits most vegan diets too, but check the label if added sugar or salt matters to you.
Is it worth stepping up to the beans?
If you want a meal base rather than a side, yes. The beans are firm, whole and well rated, and they carry chili, rice and bowls better than sweet corn does.
Can I use them in the same dish?
Yes. Corn and black beans pair well in salsa, chowder, chili and grain bowls. Drain and rinse both before adding.
