BLS 65 | 188 23 Nov 2011 #1Are pinto beans available in Poland? They are very popular in Mexico - used primarily for refried beans.
ShawnH 8 | 1,497 23 Nov 2011 #2fasola pinto? Why re-fry them? Aren't they good enough the first time around?
Sidliste_Chodov 1 | 441 23 Nov 2011 #3Why re-fry them?They aren't "re-fried" - it's a mistranslation ;)
PocztaGuy 24 Nov 2011 #5You can find pinto beans on Allegro, and often in natural food stores in PL.sklepdietetyczny.pl/product_info.php?products_id=452
weetzielynn - | 8 25 Nov 2011 #6I found raw pinto beans at a store called "Kuchnie Swiata" at a mall in Gdansk. That store is a chain, so they should have other locations around Poland. Otherwise, I found canned refried beans (imported from Mexico...pretty good quality) at Alma and Bomi. Hope that helps!
OP BLS 65 | 188 25 Nov 2011 #7I found something at Kaufland that looks similar - however, I don't recognize the name: kolorowe fasola jednolita czerwona. I understand what the individual words mean, but I don't know the English equivalent - any ideas?Thanks to all!!!BTW, the information on the counter at Kaufland reads "fasola czerwona cętkowana", not what is written on the packaging. Spotted red beans - seems I am in the neighborhood of pinto beans...
beckski 12 | 1,617 27 Nov 2011 #8I found raw pinto beans at a store called "Kuchnie Swiata"I'm wondering if canned pinto beans are also available, at some stores in Poland.
OP BLS 65 | 188 4 Sep 2012 #9Merged: Black beans in KrakowWhere can I find black beans in Krakow? I prefer dry beans, but canned are also acceptable. I scoured Stary Kleparz and Hala Targowa today to no avail. Thanks to any and all constructive input!
peterweg 37 | 2,311 4 Sep 2012 #10Tried Alma? they sell Mexican food. I remember buying some there or the world food shop, Kuchnie Światakuchnieswiata.com.pl/sklepy.htmlVery expensive in a tin, however.
aphrodisiac 11 | 2,437 5 Sep 2012 #11why can't you replace them with white beans, there is plenty in Poland and they are inexpensive.
inkrakow 1 | 98 5 Sep 2012 #13I'm pretty sure I've seen them in Kuchnie Swiata in Galeria Krakowska. Try also the two health food shops on ul. Krupnicza.
GabiDaHun 2 | 152 5 Sep 2012 #14Depends if you're talking about the fermented soy type or the Mexican type. I have to no avail found fermented Chinese black beans anywhere.Kuchnie iata in Galeria Krakowska do, however, have dried black beans... not what I was after and a little expensive, but if you're desperate...
phtoa 9 | 236 5 Sep 2012 #15black beans in Krakow?Go to Meiselsa no. 5 in Kazimierz.A few months ago an all organic fast food place opened, they for sure have black beans, and I am sure they'd sell some to you if ur desperate :-)
OP BLS 65 | 188 6 Sep 2012 #16I found canned black beans today at Carrefour - this shop typically carries a nice variety of foods from around the world. They also had refried beans and refried black beans.Each can was around 6-7 zł - I don't know how that compares to prices at Alma or Kuchnie Swiata. I am still hoping to find dry beans, so the search continues...
