Description
Nóstimo brings the everyday staples of the Mediterranean kitchen to your cupboard, and these Organic Black Beans are one of the most useful. Cooked and canned in Italy from just two ingredients — organic black beans and water — they arrive tender, creamy and ready to eat, with a 240g drained weight in every 400g can. There is no added salt or sugar, so the beans taste of exactly what they are.
They are a genuinely nutritious store-cupboard hero: high in fibre and high in protein, an easy way to add plant protein and fibre to meat-free meals. They are certified organic to IT-BIO-007 and naturally very low in salt at just 0.03g per 100g.
Because the beans are already cooked, there is no soaking or simmering — simply drain, rinse and use. Fold them cold through salads and grain bowls, or warm them into chilli, tacos, soups, stews and rice dishes.
Storage instructions:
Once opened, transfer any unused beans to a non-metallic container, refrigerate and use within three days, and keep unopened cans in a cool, dry place.
