Beanfields Bean & Rice Chips Review


BEANFIELDS VALUES

At Beanfields, we’re all about beans; one of the most sustainable protein sources in the world. When you buy Beanfields chips you’re participating in a lot of goodness. Good taste is only the beginning. All Beanfields chips are Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan-friendly, and certified gluten-free.

BEANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Beanfields, uses as many recycled products as possible and we recycle in our office. All of our suppliers have similar programs. However, the biggest thing we do for the environment is using beans as our main ingredient! Here are a few tidbits from the sustainability story of beans:
As you can see from this chart (source – American Pulse Association), beans (also called pulses) are by far the most water-efficient source of protein available.  And they are also far below the 110 gallons of water needed to grow a pound of corn (source – The Water Footprint Network).
Growing beans also uses far less fertilizer than other crops. Beans produce their own nitrogen, using sunlight to power the conversion of the nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use. As a result of these and other benefits, bean crop production lowers agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions. Beans require half the total energy inputs of other protein-producing crops! (source – American Pulse Association)

PERSONAL HEALTH

Did you know that beans are the ONLY food that the USDA lists in two different nutrition categories?  Beans are BOTH a vegetable and a protein source!  That’s a lot of nutrition packed into those small little bean packages! 

Corn and potato – the most common chip ingredients – are mostly empty calories.  But our bean and rice chips provide 5 grams complete protein, 6 grams of fiber and 4.5 grams of fat per serving, plus other essential nutrients. 

USING BUSINESS AS A FORCE FOR GOOD

Using a guiding philosophy that we call kinder prosperity, Beanfields is setting up innovative business practices to partner with our key suppliers and to build a long-lasting business that benefits as many people as possible.  That’s why we meet the requirements to be a Certified B Corporation, uniting with over 1000 companies globally to use business as a force for good. We are also proud members of organizations that promote positive social impact through business including Social Venture Network, The American Sustainable Business council, and Hub LA.

My Review
Beanfields Bean & Rice Chips are absolutely delicious! I was a bit skeptical and wasn't sure what to expect from a chip made of beans and rice but boy are they yummy! I especially like that just one serving has 5 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber and zero grams of sugar. I think that's amazing considering sugar is in just about everything these days.

I really loved each flavor of Beanfields Bean & Rice Chips but my favorite would have to be the barbecue. Barbecue chips are my favorite in general, but I don't get them too often because they aren't very good for you. I'm so happy to have found a healthy alternative that actually tastes good.

I strongly believe to live a healthy life these days it's all about finding healthy foods you actually enjoy. They're out there, you just have to find them!

Beanfields Bean & Rice Chips are a perfect example!
