  • I LOVE Heyday. I originally found them at Whole Foods on promo/sale and tried a few flavors (kimchi sesame and coconut curry). Hayday canned beans stand out in a crowded pantry aisle by blending convenience with creativity. Unlike many basic canned bean options, Hayday adds thoughtful seasoning and bold flavor combinations, making them feel more like a ready-to-eat dish than a cooking shortcut. Another strength is the ingredient list. The recipes focus on simple, natural ingredients without unnecessary fillers, and the flavors taste fresher than many traditional canned beans. Overall, Hayday canned beans are a great option for people who want the ease of canned beans but with a lot more flavor built in. They make a quick meal feel special and are a fun pantry upgrade.

  • I tried the Apricot Glazed beans and I didn't think they were that flavorful. I rarely have baked beans because I usually avoid added sugar, and I was happy about these being a more natural sweetness. However, it just didn't really deliver for my craving.

  • Super fresh and flavorful. There was a smoky quality to the chili that made for a perfect flavor. I wish the can had some instructions about how long and what method is best for heating up, there was nothing on there outside of ingredients which was surprising. I was also expecting the veggies in the chili to be a little softer, but the crunch did give a more raw and fresh quality to the food so I can’t complain too much.

  • I tried the lentil soup, the tomato beans and the corn chowder and loved all! A little more expensive than your average canned soup, but ultimately the quality shows in the product. Really liked having a dairy free corn chowder option on the grocery shelf. Very nice products to doctor up with ingredients at home.

  • A very good healthy soup. Just not sure for the price point if it’s worth the value.

  • An easy meal that felt clean, healthy, and tasty! Especially the Corn Chowder. Will certainly be buying this on the regular.

  • I bought the Enchilada Black Beans and the Coconut Curry Chickpeas. The black beans were a great shortcut for a meal, and I could see using them in the future for fast enchiladas. The chickpeas, though, were not good - incredibly bland. We ended up tossing the last serving.

  • These were the best beans I've eaten in a very long time. The flavors pop and are so unique. I would've never thought to marry kimchi with navy beans but it works! I am looking forward to trying all of their varieties.

  • The coconut curry chickpeas were pretty good. With white rice, it makes a quick and easy meal.

  • Really great product! I’ve tried the enchilada black beans and they were helpful in throwing together a tasty, last minute dinner!

  • The seasoned beans are great. I bought the coconut curry chickpeas to make with rice and stuffed it in bell peppers. It was amazing.

  • Loved the complexity of flavor of these beans. Such a good way to jumpstart a meal! A little pricey but I’m treating them as a quality pantry item that might get me inspired to cook midweek when I’m out of ideas.

  • Heyday canning has options available in multiple unique flavors. I enjoy the out of the box flavors but the cost is very high compared to other brands and option.

  • Surprisingly good! The taste and texture is great. Feels more like a conserva than a can of beans.

  • The flavor options are unique and the branding is lovely. I'm glad that the chickpeas are organic, though I'm disappointed that other ingredients are not organic–particularly given the price. There are too many sweeteners (e.g., date syrup, agave, maple syrup, sugar, tapioca syrup), making the product too sugary. And I agree with other reviews that I'm disappointed they use sunflower oil rather than olive oil, which is much more nutrient-dense.
