Beans can be problematic in your food storage. Dry beans take a lot of water, time, and fuel to make them edible. Those are three commodities that would be very precious in a real emergency situation.
You could store canned beans instead. Unfortunately, canned beans do not contain all their original nutrients and do not have a very long shelf life.
So, enter Instant Beans! Instant beans have been parboiled and then freeze dried. They only take 15 minutes (as opposed to hours) to soften and have all the nutrients of regular beans and a 25 year shelf life.
They are on sale this month through Shelf Reliance in three varieties:
Instant Black Beans: $14.09
- Instant Pinto Beans: $12.89
- Instant Red Beans: $13.89
You can get them for the discounted price by clicking on the images above. If you have any questions, just email us at thrive@pinchingyourpennies.com!
