I opt for Eden canned beans over other brands for two reasons: the beans are usually perfectly cooked and not smushed and broken up like cheaper cans, and they are cooked with kombu seaweed (a traditional Japanese method of prepping the beans to help aid in digestion). In soups, pasta, quick stir-fries, or homemade burritos, a can of beans has an infinite number of uses. Just don't toss the water! That's called aquafaba and it's the hottest ingredient on Pinterest right now for its ability to replace egg whites in mayo, meringues, and many baked goods.
