Intestinal fireworks
I've bought and consumed Augason Farms products before, and I was excited to try this product. I'm very glad I opened the can and tried it now instead of during a crisis because that would have been a disaster in itself. The first ingredient is black bean flakes and salt, so the burgers are salty. They taste fine, but the end result was gastrointestinal distress for me. The use by date is the year 2044, and I will be 92 years old then (God willing). How many 90 year olds do you know who are NOT on a low/no sodium diet? I'll have to throw out the product and keep the can.
Regular canned black beans are not a problem for me but the dried flaked variety are somehow different. Maybe it's the added ingredients that caused my distress, I don't know.
For you preppers who are buying freeze dried food and not trying it now, learn from my experience. If possible, buy small cans of anything you plan on storing. If a product doesn't agree with you, it's better to find out now rather than during a disaster.
