15?! Ridiculous! We need to breed one universal bean that covers everyone's use cases.
Result: there are 16 beans.
For those times when you look at a stream bed and get hungry
I sure do love me some aquarium gravel!
I fucking love these.
I just throw the seasoning packet away, never used it at all. Just use the bean mix itself, it's really good, HOWEVER be aware that some of the "beans" are actually lentils, and they break down into a mush faster than others.
If you cook the beans a long time in your soup as I do then it gets REALLY bad looking. We call it "ugly soup" because it's ugly AF but DELICIOUS.
Edit: I've NEVER found a rock in these also, not once in the dozens of bags, maybe hundreds, I've used.
I found a rock in a bag of beans twice in my life. My mother found one when I was a child and made sure I saw why we look through them first.
Then as an adult. Once. I got to go AHA and grab it.
I've seen blood in chicken eggs much more commonly!

Why would you find a rock in beans? Has someone even mentioned rocks?
Lots of bags of dry beans have rocks. Little black pebbles usually, like coarse sand.
Some brands have them more often than others but you can easily break a tooth on them so I always toss them on the counter and scoot them around to check.
Every bag of dried beans I've seen tells you to inspect them for rocks, since they are an agricultural product. I've never found one though.

I've found lots of rocks in bags of beans over the years, could be a regional or economic thing too (just as a point of reference, I grew up really poor in the South). As a kid I remember pouring them out on a backing sheet to sort them, little did I realize I'd end up doing something similar as a teen with an AOL CD tin.

I'm unemployed and involuntarily vegan for health reasons. Dried mixed beans, brown rice, and frozen vegetables are keeping me alive.

Give me a semiβplausible reason why these beans need to be unmixed into 15 separate piles and I will give it all of my focus.
i guess to cook each of the beans just the perfect amount of time
Probably for statistical curiosity about ratios of different types of beans in the packet. Maybe you're being shafted on expensive beans?

Oops! All beans!
YES! Make it with vegetable stock (and the vegan "ham" flavoring included) and it's especially tasty.
I gotta make this again soon
I prefer 239 bean soup. Yes, it must be exactly 239 beans, not even one bean more.
If 239 bean soup had even just one more bean, it would be too farty bean soup.

why should i know? i like some beans but not all beans
NO QUESTION, ONLY KNOW.
but...
False advertising. There are way more than 15 beans in that bag!
And it's not even soup!
You think I don't know about beans?! I almost died in freshman year at Biffmoore because I ate a bag of uncooked beans. Dry Beans!
There's way more than fifteen beans in there. I'd say there's at least like 200.

But OP, what kinds of beans are there?
From the ingredient list: northern, pinto, large lima, yelloweye, garbanzo, baby lima, green split, kidney, cranberry, small white, pink, small red, yellow split, lentil, navy, white kidney, black bean.
That's so many beans!

With an average-sized spoon, every spoonful could be a different type of 6 bean soupβitβs like getting five thousand soups in one!
15 choose 6 == 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 /(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) == 5005
Wow, I did the math thinking, no, hoping you were wrong, but 5k is right on the money. You must have done the math. Good show sir

There is no way these beans all have the same cooking time
Just cook them longer. You can't over-cook beans.
Not universally true but in the context of soup yeah fair point

Oh hey Hurst! They package these in my city. Back in college I used to make a pot of these and a huge batch of cornbread regularly all winter. Good memories.
Oh I know.
This and a $.99 thing of chorizo and some rice and we have dinner for a week.
