Why You Should Try Our Refried Beans

Beans are an essential pantry supply as they contain ample protein and lots of dietary fiber. The versatility of beans is astounding. Their uses range from soups and stews to dips and spreads. Take refried beans for example. This tasty Mexican staple can be found every night on tables all over the world. While making your own refried beans at home  from scratch can be a tasty experience, how can you make them when you're out on the trail for the day or camping overnight? (4)

Mother Earth Products' refried beans mix is a delicious addition for outdoor activities as a healthy food package that fits right into your backpack or trail pack. You won’t need much time to prepare on the trail because they require minimal cooking.

Our bean mix contains pinto bean flakes, sea salt, and onions. Our pre-cooked refried beans are 100% natural, non-GMO, gluten-free and have no added preservatives or additives. Not only do the refried beans retain their nutritional value,¹ they are great source of essential vitamins and minerals.

They have a long shelf life and can be stored for any emergency or inclement weather, especially if you live on the coast during hurricane season. When stored in proper conditions, they can last longer than 10 years. Apart from being tasty and easy to prepare, they are also a cheaper option. You can make just a little and store the remaining without the hassle of trying to remember an expiration date.

To prepare, add 1 part of boiling water to 1 part bean mix to rehydrate. Remember to remove the desiccant before eating. Cover and let stand about 3-5 minutes and they’ll be ready! Add a little cooking oil if desired. The consistency will vary according to your preferences. You don’t have to wait all day for them to cook, unlike raw beans from the grocery store.
