My daughter in law is veg. I sent her a package with Camilla Beans, made some pralines and a can of chicory coffee ( from my last visit to Nola)… She loves her spicy seasoning and hot sauces. Just thought I’d ask! 🎈
A lot of these gift baskets are just that: dried beans. Seasonings. Hot sauces. All these companies offer other options on their website. I was trying to mainly go for baskets that offered red beans.
