Warm them gently in a saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally so the sauce does not catch. Add a small splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
Transfer leftovers from the can to a covered glass or food-safe container and refrigerate promptly. They are generally best eaten within 3 to 4 days.
Yes, they freeze well in airtight, portion-sized containers. Thaw in the refrigerator, reheat until piping hot, and do not refreeze previously thawed beans.
They pair well with wholegrain toast, brown rice, or a baked potato for a filling meal. A crisp salad or steamed vegetables add freshness and variety.
They can work well as part of a post-workout meal because they provide carbohydrate and plant protein. Before training, their fibre may cause bloating for some people, so have them a few hours beforehand rather than immediately before exercise.

It can in some people, since tomato-based foods may trigger reflux or heartburn. If this happens, try a smaller serving and avoid eating them close to bedtime.
