Suggested uses
Basic prep
Sort beans carefully to remove any possible foreign material. Rinse thoroughly, and soak overnight. Strain beans into a large pot and cover with fresh water. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes, or until tender. This bean blend produces foam when boiling, so skim the water regularly.
Storage & handling
Store in a cool, dry place.

Specially formulated to offer an array of color and texture, this blend is perfect for recipes that call for multiple beans. Its simple, one-step cooking process also makes it easy to add a stunning assortment of legumes to any recipe.

Spicy Sausage and Heirloom Bean Stew
Spicy, hearty and satisfying, this simple stew pairs our richly flavored Heirloom Bean Blend with Italian sausage, aromatics and fresh herbs. A last-minute addition of red wine vinegar adds tangy tartness to counterbalance the stew’s richness.
