The Better Bean Company features ready-to-eat vegan beans in a variety of flavors, including Cuban Black Beans, Refried Black Beans, and Three Sisters Chili with beans, corn, squash, tomatillo and ancho pepper.  Besides being delicious, the beans avoid the standard tin can — which, as you know, can contain a multitude of scary extras.  Pick up some Better Beans in MD or VA or request them at your local DC store.

Here’s a holiday-ready recipe featuring Better Beans, veganized for your eating pleasure…
