Black Beans – Organic, 2lbs

Black beans are an excellent choice for an emergency food supply due to their high nutritional value, long shelf life, and versatility in cooking. These beans are packed with protein, fiber, iron, and other essential vitamins and minerals, making them a great source of energy and nutrients in times of crisis.

Black beans are a great source of protein. They contain about 15 grams of protein per cup, making them an excellent plant-based protein source for vegetarians and vegans. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues in the body, and it is especially important in times of stress or injury.

Our careful hand-packaging process allows a shelf life of up to 30 years. This makes it an excellent investment for your long term food storage compared to conventional retail packaging that only lasts a couple of years. They are also easy to store, as they can be kept in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

In addition to their long shelf life, black beans are also incredibly versatile in cooking. They can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and dips. They can be cooked on their own or combined with other ingredients to create a nutritious and satisfying meal.

Black beans are also rich in fiber, which is important for maintaining digestive health and regulating blood sugar levels. They contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which can help to lower cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease.
