To use, simply drain and rinse the beans thoroughly under cool running water. This step is important to remove any residual canning liquid and excess starch. You can then add them directly to your recipes. They can be gently heated in soups, stews, or casseroles, or served cold in salads. For a smoother texture, they can be mashed or pureed for use in dips or as a base for vegetarian pâtés. Their mild taste makes them a good complement to a wide range of herbs and spices.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike beans canned with salt, these have no salt added, allowing you to control the sodium content of your dishes precisely. Their organic certification means they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused beans to a clean, airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator and consume within 3 to 4 days. Ensure they are fully submerged in fresh water or another liquid to maintain their texture and prevent them from drying out.
