Bigger than Monday

There’s the meaning of life. And then there’s the meaning of life in Louisiana. It all
simmers down to one thing really. The red bean. What is it that makes it so special? Are
they magic beans? Find out how something so small can be so huge.

A RICH & CREAMY HISTORY

GOOD FOR YOUR HEART & SOUL

Red beans aren’t only good for you – they’re good for the community. Find out how Blue
Runner, our employees and our customers have done our part during hurricanes, the
pandemic, and for our neighbors experiencing tough times.

THE GIFT OF BLUE RUNNER

Are red beans really healthy? Do I still need to soak ‘em? Where do red beans come from
before mama gets her hands on them? Got a big bean question? Send it our way! Here
we go behind-the-beans to answer the questions we get most.
