Every Southern pantry should have a can of these beans.

Pickle relish…orzo….chocolate chips…coconut milk.

Or it might mean creamy white beans sauteed with frozen spinach and garlic, mixed into couscous.

Thesequick and cheap mealsaren’t worthy of my Instagram feed, but they satisfy more than hunger.

They make me feel like a culinary MacGyver.

While the bean varies, the brand is always the same: Goya.

And they are almost always fully intact.

(Goya chickpeas make greathummus.)
