Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

The History of Organic Pinto Beans

Organic Pinto Beans date back to ancient times in the Americas, where they were a staple food for indigenous cultures. The beans were cultivated by Native American tribes, who recognised their nutritional value and versatility in cooking. With their distinctive mottled appearance and creamy texture when cooked, pinto beans gained popularity and became a beloved ingredient in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. Over time, the demand for organic and sustainable farming practices led to the production of organic pinto beans, preserving their heritage and nutritional benefits. Today, these beans continue to be cherished for their delicious taste and contribution to healthy, plant-based diets.
