During the brief period of my life when I was eating gluten-free, I discovered aisles of food that I otherwise probably would not have known about otherwise and there is no rule that says you have to have a food sensitivity or allergy or a special diet in order to eat these foods. Beanfields Rice and Bean Chips are just one great food that those who only shop the regular chip aisle are missing out on.
Beanfields Bean and Rice Chips are not only gluten-free, but they do not contain any of the 8 ingredients identified by the FDA as causing 90% of food-related allergic reactions. They are also vegan, even the nacho cheese flavored one. The main ingredients are black beans, navy beans, and long grain rice and the chips are Non-GMO verified. Each 1 ounce serving provides 4 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein, making them a nutritionally balanced snack choice. They even have an unsalted variety for those monitoring their salt intake. Along with the unsalted flavor, you will find Sea Salt, Pico de Gallo, Salt N' Pepper, and Nacho.
Beanfields prides themselves as a company that does things differently from other companies. They believe that great tasting snacks should also be good for you, good for our families, good for our farmers, and good for the planet. All ingredients are grown in the USA and the products are also USA made. Beanfields participates in local events by nonprofits, in addition to donating their time and products. In addition, they share profits with their stakeholders and community.
The chips are available at over 520 natural, specialty, and grocery stores in 21 Western United States. You can find a store near you, by using their store locator. For those of you, like myself, who do not live near a store that carries them, you can buy them online at places like Amazon
as well as on the Beanfields website.You can find Beanfields online at their website, on facebook, and on Twitter.
My thoughts
Before I tried these chips, I loved them on paper. I am all for Non-GMO foods and for tasty healthier snacks, but I also know that often these foods do not taste great so I was a bit concerned about how these would taste. I am pleased to say that I enjoyed them very much. They do definitely taste different than what you may be used to, but they are good. I even liked the unsalted ones, which I was really surprised by. Every flavor was enjoyable, but the Nacho flavor is my favorite and I am excited to share these ones with my brother. His wife has a life-threatening allergy to milk and he has to go through an extensive routine before he can kiss her after he eats Doritos, and while these are not exactly like Doritos, they are pretty close, and I like them even better. The chips are easy to bite, but hold up well when dipped as well.
