Plant protein: Boost your plant-based protein intake, naturally. One cup of cooked beans provides ~16 g of protein (varies by bean).
Lots of fiber: Beans have an impressive 12-20 grams of fiber per cup (varies by bean). Fiber helps keep your cholesterol levels at bay and your digestion in check ;)
Sustained energy: The complex carbs in beans keep your blood sugar levels steady, helping you feel energized for hours.
Key nutrients: High in iron, zinc, folate, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants (oh my!), beans have everything you need to feel healthy and happy daily.

Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin region has a long history of agriculture, most famous today for its beans and golden barley. These crops grow right nearby the glacier-carved valleys of Yellowstone National Park. Family farms benefit from the area’s cool nights and hot days, fertile soil, and rich supply of mountain water.
We partnered with the University of Wyoming’s Research and Extension Center (PREC) in Powell to trial uncommon varieties that are well-suited for the area’s growing conditions. The community relies on PREC’s research on topics such as crop rotations, water use efficiency, and organic growing methods.
