Small Cans, Big Benefits

As chefs, we all have that one side dish or menu item that we love, but it may not always move as quickly as the prep you've done for it can stand. There are times when something only comes in bulk packaging and we simply don't need all that product. The price is right but what's the real benefit if you throw half of it away before you move through it.

Furmano’s recently launched a full line of beans in smaller cans, which I’m really excited about! Now, a #10 Can (approximately 70+ ounces of drained beans) becomes a more bearable 9 - 10 ounces of beans in a 15.5 oz. can. Instead of trying to move through it all, you get 2 - 3 servings of that item out of a single can. This leaves the excess 60 ounces of beans setting safely in your dry storage room, not going bad and not taking up refrigeration.

As your menu items start to gain momentum with your customers, you can comfortably transition back to the Furmano's #10 can without any loss of the quality we provide in every can of beans we produce, no matter how it’s packaged.

Find out more about our new line of beans in 15.5 oz. cans and let me know what you think! Also, check out my recipe for Chili Lime White Kidney Beans and use my recipe calculator. This is a great tool that lets you choose your servings and quickly calculates the ingredients you’ll need.
