The N.K. Hurst Company is a member of the National Dry Bean Council, as well as every bean growers association that promotes only the highest standards.

Consumers today are more keenly aware of the need for better nutrition in their diet. A public educated in the benefits of foods low in fat and cholesterol, but high in protein and fiber, will find Hurst HamBeens® to be a whole, nutritious food, meeting most of the requirements for a balanced diet. Beans are a near perfect food and deliciously compliment any meal.

N.K. Hurst Company was established as a family business in 1938, beginning a long history in the food business with the trading and distribution of sugar. Since 1948, the Hurst name is recognized in the industry as being a first quality packager of edible dry beans. The Company is still proudly owned and operated by the second and third generation Hurst families.

The N.K. Hurst Company has always been dedicated to accepting only U.S. #1 grade products from choice growers.

We take pride in continuing to exceed government standards for the food industry. This means choosing only the "Best of Crop Year" product, rejecting any old crop, split or broken beans and refusing mixing or blending of grades. These facts are made evident by the Hurst family motto: "Quality First."

From the bean fields to the kitchen… We Know Beans! (Please click here to see how our products get to market.)

"There are three things that sell packaged dried beans: high quality beans, attractive packages, and good displays."
