What it is
Eden Organic Black Beans, No Salt Added, are whole, cooked black beans packed in water. They are certified organic, meaning they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The "no salt added" designation means that no salt is present in the canning liquid, allowing for greater control over the sodium content of your dishes. These beans are a convenient pantry staple for quick meal preparation.

To use, simply drain and rinse the beans under cool water to remove any residual canning liquid. They can then be added directly to your recipes.
