Canned foods are getting an upgrade courtesy of Heyday Canning Co, a start-up founded by Jamie Tulley and former Clif Bar and Sweet Earth exec Kat Kavner. This new brand is poised to bring freshness and modernity to an age-old category and infuse it with flavor, creativity and inspiration. Kavner says, "We want people to be able to open a can and put together a really effortless meal in a matter of minutes.”
Heyday Canning Co will be introducing itself to the world with six globally inspired flavors to start: Harissa Lemon Chickpeas, Kimchi Sesame Navy Beans, Coconut Curry Chickpeas, Tomato alla Vodka Cannellini Beans, Enchilada Black Beans and Apricot Glazed Baked Beans. These classic beans in gourmet sauces are ready to be eaten alone or worked into dishes like rice, pastas and tacos.
