How people cook with it
These beans are a staple for many home cooks looking for convenient and healthy additions to their meals.
- Added to soups and stews
- Mashed into dips
- Mixed into salads
- Used in casseroles
To use these beans, simply drain and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water to remove any residual packing liquid. They can then be added directly to your cooking. For warm dishes like soups, chili, or casseroles, stir them in during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to allow them to heat through. They are also excellent when mashed or blended into dips and spreads, or simply tossed into a salad for added substance and texture.

Compared to conventionally canned beans, these are organic, meaning they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The 'no salt added' feature distinguishes them from many other canned beans, offering a purer bean flavor and allowing for complete control over the saltiness of your final dish.
Who it is for
Home cooks seeking a convenient, plant-based ingredient for everyday meals will find these beans useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused beans to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and consume within 3-4 days. Do not freeze in the original can. Proper storage ensures the beans remain fresh and safe to eat.
