US .2 Vegetarian Navy Bean
US$20.00
A nourishing, budget-friendly vegetarian soup built from a simple rice–barley–bean mix. It’s thick, cozy, and packed with plant-based protein — the kind of meal that feels like it could feed a whole neighborhood. Fun fact: Navy beans got their name because they were a staple food for the U.S. Navy in the early 1900s — prized for being cheap, filling, and able to survive long voyages without spoiling.
