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.
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.
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?
