Thrive Market Favorites Haul

Pro tips

• Rinse canned beans under cold water before use to reduce sodium and digestive discomfort.
• Keep sauce pouches and jars in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight to maintain flavor and shelf stability.
• Freeze opened sauce pouches in ice-cube trays for single-serve portions that thaw quickly for weeknight meals.
• Pair organic beans with the teriyaki or honey garlic sauces for no-think sheet-pan dinners that require minimal prep.

Substitutions

• Honey garlic sauce → soy sauce + minced garlic + honey (homemade version, adjust ratios to taste)
• Organic pinto beans → organic kidney beans or black beans (similar cook times and texture)
• Pizza sauce → marinara or tomato sauce (tomato paste base; adjust seasonings as needed)

Storage & make-ahead

Store unopened canned beans and jarred sauces in a cool, dry pantry for up to 5 years; refrigerate opened items in airtight containers for 3–5 days. Freeze sauce portions for up to 3 months.

How long do canned organic beans last in the pantry?

Unopened canned beans keep 3–5 years in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Can you use these sauces for meal prep?

Yes. Both honey garlic and teriyaki sauces work well for batch cooking proteins and grains; portion into containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Are Thrive Market products more affordable than grocery stores?

Thrive Market often offers bulk organic items at lower per-unit costs, especially with a membership, though shipping and membership fees should be factored in.

What quick dinners can you make with these pantry items?

Bean and sauce bowls, bean chili, sheet-pan meals with beans and sauce, or quick stir-fries using the teriyaki and honey garlic options.

How should you store opened jarred sauces?

Refrigerate after opening and use within 2–3 weeks. Always use clean utensils to avoid contamination.
