Take the Boring Out of Brown Bagging It - Camellia Brand Beans "On The Go"



"Since 1923, four generations of Haywards have guided L.H. Hayward and Company from its humble beginnings as a wholesale produce supplier to its modern day status as the internationally recognized packager of Camellia Brand® dry beans, peas and lentils – not to mention its distinguished title as the most respected provider of the quintessential Louisiana and Gulf Coast region’s favorite soul food: red beans."


Camellia Brand (R) Beans are the best beans in the world. I know because I've been in the business of cooking beans for a long time (and never you mind how long). Anyway, the only problem is that a good pot of beans take a long time to cook.

Well, time is no longer a factor. Camellia Brand has introduced a line of "To Go" beans that you can drop in your tote or briefcase and pop in the microwave at lunch - or dinner - or anytime you get the taste.

I tried the Red Beans and Rice (flavored with Sausage) and the White Beans and Rice with Savory Ham. Both are good, not-too-spicy, low in sodium and so much more exciting than a Turkey and Swiss!

Don't worry if you can't find them in your local grocery store, the nice people at Camellia will ship them straight to your door.
