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.

Espinacas con garbanzos
Typically served as a tapa, this lovely stew of chickpeas (aka garbanzos), spinach, garlic, smoked paprika, and homemade croutons will surely make you nostalgic for your last trip to Spain.

Montana’s Golden Triangle region is famous for its ability to produce exceptional high-protein wheat. Farms have relied on important soil enhancing and conservation techniques passed down through generations– drought-resistant crops, cover crops, and crop rotations made possible by none other than the nitrogen-fixing bean.
Our partner, Jeff Bangs of Prairie Sun Farms, says his great-grandmother arrived to farm the land more than 100 years ago, and 4 generations later the family is still going strong. Jeff grows his crops organically and found that his tiny Chickpea variety is not only delicious, but a soil-conditioning powerhouse.
