Derby Black Bean
Black beans are a Derby-time tradition, and our Derby Black Bean blend makes it easy to put together a hearty, flavorful pot. Garlic, onion, bay leaves, and celery seed combine with black pepper and sea salt for a savory blend that’s simple, comforting, and packed with flavor.
Use 2 tablespoons of Derby Black Bean with 4 quarts of water and one 1 lb bag of beans. It’s also great when you think outside the soup pot—try it in seafood stews, chowders, or other hearty dishes.
