A Box of Canned Beans is a shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Beans. It is a bulk way to carry and store a filling canned food that keeps for a long time. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of canned beans are a rare find on store shelves and in survivor caches.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open. An opened can of beans lowers hunger by 24 and holds 170 calories.
Cold beans add 10 unhappiness, so they are best heated first. Opened beans also go into a Soup, a Stew or a Rice dish, where each can adds 24 hunger. A full box holds enough beans for several days of meals.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of canned beans suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the beans stay fresh for 2 days and are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be eaten.
Locations
A Box of Canned Beans is a rare find. General stores and the shelves at Gigamart and grocery stores hold one now and then. Survivor food caches, survivor crates and house kitchens turn one up even less often. Grocery storage rooms and cafeteria kitchens hold one only once in a long while.

Notes
- Packing six loose cans into a box saves 0.8 weight.
- Sealed cans keep for a very long time, so a box belongs in a long term food store.
- Heat each can of beans before eating, as cold beans make the character unhappy.
- A Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone is needed for each can.
