Why You Should Try Our Refried Beans

Refried Bean MixBeans are an essential pantry supply. They are vital for survival, but also for every day food needs. They are a delicious addition for outdoor activities as a healthy food package that fits right into your backpack or trail pack, and you won’t need much time to prepare on the trail, because they require minimal cooking. Here's more reasons why you should try our refried bean mix.
Our bean mix contains pinto bean flakes, sea salt, and onions. Our pre-cooked refried beans are 100% natural and non-GMO, and have no added preservatives or additives and are gluten-free. 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 (which ensures no spoiling), and can be stored for any emergency or inclement weather, especially if you live on the coast during hurricane season. They can last longer than 10 years, when stored in proper conditions, and are perfect for a meal to save time when making lunch or dinner. Apart from being easy to prepare and tasty (one of our owners has a long history of eating them for her lunch several times a week), 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.
