Simple Truth Organic Tri-Bean Blend
What it is
This is a convenient combination of three types of organic beans: kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. The beans are pre-cooked and packed in water, making them ready to use in various dishes. The blend offers a mix of textures and flavors from the different bean varieties. It is a pantry staple for quick meal preparation.
How people cook with it
This tri-bean blend is versatile and can be incorporated into many different meals, from simple sides to more complex main courses.
- Added to chili
- Mixed into salads
- Used in tacos
- As a side dish
To use the tri-bean blend, simply open the can and drain the liquid. You can then rinse the beans under cold water if desired. The beans are already cooked, so they can be added directly to your recipes. They are excellent stirred into soups and stews, mixed into grain bowls, or used as a base for vegetarian patties. For a quick meal, warm them up with some seasonings and serve alongside rice or a salad.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike single-variety canned beans, this blend offers a ready-made mix of kidney, black, and pinto beans. This saves the step of opening and combining multiple cans. The combination provides a more complex flavor profile and varied texture than a single type of bean.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add beans to their meals will appreciate this blend.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused portion of the tri-bean blend to a separate airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator and consume within 3 to 4 days. This ensures the beans remain fresh and safe to eat.
