Heyday Canning Company reviews and discussion

I tried the Tomato à la Vodka sauce from Hay Day Canning Company, and it was genuinely delicious. The flavor was rich, the texture was great, and it made dinner feel effortless. I love a good canned sauce moment, and this one definitely delivered.

I have tried the coconut curry chickpeas and harissa lemon chickpeas from heyday canning. They are both delicious. I've had them on their own, but they would be great added to a soup or stew a well. Yum!

Unique flavors (I tried the Kimchi sesame), good beans, nice for a change of pace. I'd say if the kimchi sesame one were any indication, the flavors probably are on the blander side (I expected more of a kimchi kick.)

I really love that they make fun and delicious flavors of chickpeas! The cans look so cute in my pantry and I love how colorful they are. They taste amazing and are really affordable. I'll continue buying them.

These beans are delicious. The kimchi beans were an absolute favorite. And it's so easy to have these at home to have as a side dish with just about anything. But. $6.50 for a can of beans is simply steep.

I tried the Kimchi Sesame beans (I would have bought the tomato alla vodka or enchilada beans but they weren't yet available at Pop Up Grocer where I purchased!). The flavors are good, there's a lot more sauce than I expected. Truthfully, I'm finding it hard to figure out how to eat or use these! I'm not a huge fan of beans on plain rice, which is what everyone is suggesting. I put the beans on a cheesy sourdough toast, but that was a little too hearty and heavy for moi. Needed a little acid, like a lime squeeze. Frankly, these beans were best out of the can, eaten with a spoon at room temperature.

First off, everyone* knows I write the best reviews on Thingtesting. I 👏🏼. Bring 👏🏼. The 👏🏼. Saus 👏🏼. But you know who else brings the saus? Heyday with their tasty beans. Picked up the Coconut Curry and Harissa Lemon at the local Whole Foods. I scanned the QR code on the can and leaned into their curry chickpea and baked cauliflower recipe. It was delicious. So did I pay five bucks for a can of chickpeas? Yes. But did I look like a hero to my wife when I whipped up a dinner that rocked her tastebuds in 15 minutes? Also yes. To all my fellow dads out there you know that’s real* value. I likely won’t crack a can of Heydey for every meal, but I’ll definitely be a repeat customer and keep the ole pantry stocked with a few cans.

It took me a bit to know exactly how to use this product in a meal. I was recovering from a bout with Covid & really seeking a comfort food. I mixed the cannellini w/tomato vodka sauce into some gluten free pasta & veggies. I really didn’t need to add much more to make a perfect winter recovery meal. I’ll definitely try this again as a healthy stew ingredient with crusty bread.

Did I enjoy this product? Absolutely. Would I buy it again? Probably not. I tried the Enchilada Black Beans flavor in a Mexican-style casserole, and it added a really nice, spicy flavor. I also tasted a spoonful separately, and found it just the right amount of zing (the can indicate it's "mild heat," which was true). However, at $3.49/can, it's awfully expensive, as I can purchase a can of black beans for about $1 and easily add similar spices for less than half the cost. I also should make note of the design of the label: very mid-century and it certainly stood out on the shelf. :-)

finally someone is putting a spotlight on the humble bean! A simple and flavorful meal that you can pair with veggies, grains, or eat on its own. A meal this quick doesn’t get much better than this. I’ve tried the harissa lemon chickpeas and enchilada black beans and am eager to pick up the others soon.

Typically I LOVE this brand. I was a bit disappointed with the flavor of the grilled cheese tomato soup. Ironically I ate this soup with grilled cheese, but I missed the original tomato soup taste. Their attempt to bring in the grilled cheese flavors too just felt not necessary. I really wished it was just a can of creamy tomato bisque.

I was excited about these beans and had heard great things! I used them in an enchilada casserole in place of plain enchilada sauce to jazz up the recipe and add some protein and fiber - and it didn’t disappoint!

Yummy! I think some of their flavors are better than others (love the vodka & harissa lemon), excited by their new salted beans. Good texture! I prefer to use them as a recipe base rather than eating them on their own.

I felt the packaging was really fun! I loved the vintage but modern vibe. I liked all the options available as it Ed different than other brands. The corn chowder and lentil stew were fun additions to quick lunches!

I tried the Grilled Cheese Tomato Soup and was pleasantly surprised. Unlike most canned soup, it didn’t have that overly salty taste that will instantly skyrocket your blood pressure. Nor did it have that tin-can aftertaste that so many other brands have—hooray! I thought they did a nice job of not overpowering the tomato taste with sourdough (that can easily happen) and the cheesy undertones were all there. But at almost $6 a can, it’s not the cheapest canned soup you’ll ever have. When on sale, i would definitely buy again.

I tried Heyday Pinto & Black Bean Mole Chili and I couldn’t believe how good it was. The sauce was rich and thick and the vegetables were the perfect size. The chili was so flavorful and delicious. I will absolutely be re-purchasing. Highly recommend.

These beans by Heyday are a wonderful and wholesome option for me and my family. We have had them as alongside burgers, as a side dish on taco night and even as an add in item for our homemade vegetable soup and chili. And each time had been better than the last. These beans truly are a staple in our household! Highly recommend!

I loved the enchilada black beans. Having all the flavoring in the can already was really nice. The price point is a bit much for me sadly, but i would for sure buy again as a once in a while treat. I’ve also tried the harissa lemon chickpeas before and those are AMAZING. Still a bit expensive but such a unique sauce flavor I probably wouldn’t be able to create on my own. With the beans, I added them to a rice and quinoa blend with some greens, avocado, lime, cheese, and jalapeño sauce.

I was able to purchase a can of these, free of charge, thanks to Thingtesting! I purchased the Enchilada Black Beans. I made nachos with these (as well as carnitas) and oh boy! The flavor! It made for a very easy dinner to not have to season the beans up myself. And unlike some other varieties, the depth of flavor was on point!

I tried Coconut Curry flavor chickpeas by Heyday. The coconut curry sauce recipe is amazing. Love the warm spices. I served it with Jasmine rice, plant-based chicken and a salad. The combination ingredients of Heyday beans are perfect. This is my new favorite. I also tried Creamy Coconut Corn Chowder Soup (pictured) and it's delicious. Creamy thick, with real chowder taste. It's all healthy. It truly completes any meal.
