Bold Bean Co

Beans are the ultimate batch-cooking ingredient and are ideal for meal prepping— easy to prepare, filling, versatile, and naturally packed with protein and fibre.

Think one-pot chillis to freeze eat 3 ways throughout the week - with rice, on a jacket potato, or stuffed into burritos. Or make a bean mash that doubles up as a dip AND a high-fibre toast topper. Or try our jarred salads like this, for easily transportable, healthy + DELICIOUS office lunches (that won't go soggy!) - they're great for cooking once, eating all week.

How long do beans last in the fridge?

Our jars, once opened, they will last in their jars for 3-5 days in the fridge (make sure not to double dip if you're eating straight from the jar!). And make sure the lid is tightly sealed after opening.

However, the bean recipes , once you've batch-cooked will last around 3-5 days in the fridge in sealed an airtight container. This might need a better explanation!

Can you freeze beans?

Yes! Beans freeze very well - butter beans, black beans, chickpeas - the lot! Freezing helps you cut down on waste, saves time when cooking, and means you’ll always have beans ready to go when you need them.

You can freeze our beans as they are, then they'll be ready to add straight into whatever recipe you’re making. OR you can freeze them as part of a dish – like soups, stews, or curries – so you’ve got a complete meal ready to go.

They will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

Can you reheat the beans?

Absolutely. We recommend defrosting your beans in the fridge - heating the directly from frozen can cause the beans to go mushy! Try the beans gently on the hob. Our beans are already soft and silky, so a gentle warming is all they need!
