The sole ingredient is Great Northern beans. No additives, preservatives, or processing aids are present. As a dry bean product, these must be soaked and cooked before consumption, which requires advance planning but allows full control over sodium content and texture. The product is free from all common allergens and suitable for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and diverse dietary patterns.
