Lots of bags of dry beans have rocks. Little black pebbles usually, like coarse sand.
Some brands have them more often than others but you can easily break a tooth on them so I always toss them on the counter and scoot them around to check.
Your day may come. Be vigilant! Best to find them on the counter than in your mouth. Some brands, or bean types, have a lot more than others. Black and red beans have had the most for me, in that order. It sucks because it’s harder to spot the rocks in the black beans, too.
I’ve found lots of rocks in bags of beans over the years, could be a regional or economic thing too (just as a point of reference, I grew up really poor in the South). As a kid I remember pouring them out on a backing sheet to sort them, little did I realize I’d end up doing something similar as a teen with an AOL CD tin.
Yeah I find them more often in brands from foreign foods sections. Often times they’re better quality beans for a lot cheaper though!
I’ll take the couple minutes to scan for rocks if it means I’m getting better beans any day of the week. Fucking love beans, haven’t ever met one I don’t like.
Why would you find a rock in beans? Has someone even mentioned rocks?

Every bag of dried beans I’ve seen tells you to inspect them for rocks, since they are an agricultural product. I’ve never found one though.
