Garbanzo- Our Organic Garbanzo Beans are grown in USA!
Our Organic Garbanzo Beans are plump, creamy and delicious. An excellent source of protein and fiber, garbanzos supply roughly 27 percent of daily protein and 50 percent of our fiber requirements in one cup. They are especially high in folate, manganese and iron, which are important components in the body's anti-oxidant activity.
Garbanzos are an ideal base for soups, stews, salads, and purees, and can also be ground into flour for non-gluten recipes.
Words from the farmer:
“We believe in a sustainable farming future. Having seen an increased demand for organic products, we strive to be good stewards of the land, and incorporate organic practices where applicable on our farm. In 2012 we added 5 solar facility sites, incorporating solar power into our sustainability plan.”
Black- Our Organic Black Beans are grown in Idaho.
A favorite in South and Central American, Caribbean, and American Southwest cuisine, black turtle beans have a mild, sweet, earthy flavor that combine well with assertive seasonings like chili peppers and cumin.
A one-cup serving of black beans has about 15 grams of protein (equivalent to the amount in 2 ounces of chicken or salmon) and 15 grams of fiber. Black beans are a good source of copper, manganese, vitamin B1, phosphorus, protein, magnesium, and iron.
Ideal in spicy soups, stews, enchiladas, tortillas, and casseroles.
To cook the beans, soak beans overnight, then rinse, add three cups of fresh water or unsalted broth for each cup of dried beans. (The liquid should be about one to two inches above the top of the beans.) Bring the beans to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, partially covering the pot. If any foam develops, skim it off during the simmering process. Black beans generally take about one and one-half hours to become tender.
Pinto- Our Organic Pinto Beans are grown in South Central Idaho on a family farm that fully transitioned to organic in 1996.
Pinto beans have a full-bodied, earthy flavor. Colored beige-pink and strewn with reddish-brown splashes, they are like little painted canvases; hence their name "pinto," which in Spanish means "painted." When cooked, their colored splotches disappear, and they become a beautiful pink color.
Pinto beans are a very good source fiber and an excellent source of molybdenum, a very good source of folate, and a good source of protein, vitamin B1, and vitamin B6 as well as the minerals copper, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese, and potassium.
Originally from Central Mexico, but popular throughout the American Southwest, pinto beans combine well with chili powder seasoning. Leftover beans make delicious and hearty refried beans.
Cooking Directions: Rinse and sort through beans; soak overnight in cold water. Drain and cover with water by 4 inches. Add kombu seaweed if desired (optional; helps with digestibility). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and begin checking for softness at 15-20 minutes.
