How people cook with it
This canned bean product is a versatile addition to many meals. It can be enjoyed straight from the can or incorporated into various dishes.

To prepare, simply open the can and heat the contents gently on the stovetop or in a microwave-safe dish until warmed through. For stovetop heating, use a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If microwaving, transfer the beans to a suitable container and heat for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. It can also be added directly to other dishes, like soups or stews, during their cooking process to meld the flavors.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused portion to a separate, airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining beans and consume within a few days for optimal freshness. Do not store opened product in the original can, as this can affect the taste and quality.
