Great Value Golden Sweet Whole Kernel Corn vs Hurst's HamBeens 15 Bean Soup Mix

These are not substitutes. Canned corn is a ready-to-heat vegetable side or recipe add-in; the HamBeens bag is a dry soup base that needs an hour or more of soaking and simmering. Buy the corn for speed and everyday meals, and the bean mix when you want a pot of hearty soup. Owners rate the HamBeens mix highly for flavor and yield, while canned corn is judged on convenience and consistency.

  • Choose the Great Value corn if you want a vegetable on the table in minutes or a quick add-in for tacos, salsa, chowder or relish.
  • Choose the HamBeens 15 Bean mix if you plan to cook a large pot of bean soup and want 15 bean varieties plus a seasoning packet in one bag.

What reviewers say

Hurst's HamBeens 15 Bean Soup Mix

  • 4.8 / 53,637 ratings

Owners rate the mix highly and call it a hearty, easy base for soup, often adding sausage, ham or vegetables. Many praise the variety of beans and the included seasoning, while some find the seasoning too salty or use only part of the packet.

What people mention
  • FlavorPraisedOwners call the soup hearty and comforting, especially with added meat or vegetables.
  • SeasoningMixedSome like the included ham seasoning, while others find it salty and use half.
  • Bean varietyPraisedBuyers like getting fifteen bean types in one bag for a varied texture.
  • Prep timeCriticisedThe beans need an overnight soak and a long simmer before they are tender.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a quick weeknight side?
The canned corn. It heats in minutes with no soaking or simmering. The bean mix is a project that takes an hour or more of cooking.
Which lasts longer in the pantry?
The canned corn. Canned vegetables keep for years, while the HamBeens bag states a 365-day shelf life.
Is the bean mix a meal on its own?
It is a soup base. The beans and seasoning make a hearty pot, but most cooks add ham, sausage, tomatoes or vegetables to round it out.
Is the HamBeens mix vegetarian?
The beans are, but the included seasoning packet is ham-flavored. Check the packet and leave it out or substitute if you avoid meat.
Is one worth stepping up to over the other?
They serve different jobs, so neither replaces the other. Keep the corn for fast sides and the bean bag for a planned soup night.
