I went most of my life not knowing there were more beans than the ones in the grocery store. Check out this bean shop:

For some pretty great beans that you might find locally, I would crown cranberry bean as king.
wow nice! thanks for the link. some of those are new to me. free shipping for orders over $50 is a pretty good deal as well - might have to get a few lbs of some of the more obscure ones.
Garbanzo hands down. I slap those badboys into an air fryer on 400 for 25 min with a bit of cooking spray, toss on some seasoning and BAM, a snack that gives me my salty food fix and mildly annoys my family. What else could you want?
man I dunno, I like a lot of different ones - like, chickpeas for hummus, or cannellini for italian dishes, or black beans with cuban mojo. even haricot beans with beurre blanc.
havent really run into a type of bean I dont like, thus far.

I do that on a pan sometimes but didn't think about using the air fryer lol. Probably should do that
It definitely depends on the meal.
Chili? Kidney, pinto, and black are good.
Mexican dish? Black or refried.
Mediterranean? Black.
Barbecue? Baked beans.
Fava beans with a nice Chianti, of course…
Do black eyed peas count? Because damn, that's good eating.
Otherwise, I'm a pinto guy.
