Review: BeanField's Bean and Rice Chips
First off I must thank Tomoson.com for the opportunity to review Beanfield's Crispylicious Bean and Rice Chips.
Where do I begin?? These chips are 100% vegan, gluten-free, contain 4 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein in every 1oz serving. (that's as much fiber as a 1/2 cup of raisin bran!!) and as much protein as a 4oz glass of milk.
Beanfields founded in 2010 is a natural food company based in Los Angeles California, with a primary goal of helping to improve the global food supply by creating delicious, plant based, Non GMO snacks, with their primary ingredient being... beans!
Why beans you ask?
Good for you, good for their farmers and overall good for the planet.
1.Beans are rich in nutrients including fiber and protein
2.Beans take less water to grow per pound than any other protein source
3.Beans are affordable and economical protein source
4.Beans are America's super food.
I could go on about the history of beans but what I really want to dive into is the chips themselves. I must tell you when I received the huge box and opened them up I was instantly intrigued and very hungry! Being a snacker myself, I am always on the lookout for something healthier than your standard chip or pretzel and I know now I have found that. Put it this way, I was NOT the first to try them. My daughter(who's 10) came home from school the day I got them and before I could even read through the material and what different variations they sent she was already halfway into the bag of the Sea Salt variety (needless to say I never got to sample these because she finished the bag!)
However,my first taste of these wonderful chips were the pico de gallo which I thought were going to be overly spicy boy was I wrong!!. The first thing I noticed about these chips was the crunch. When you bite into one of these you get that satisfying crunch you would from any standard chip followed by your taste buds getting a rousing from this mild yet bold flavor followed by feeling instantly satisfied, and this was just from the first bite!! My next taste venture was when I decided to accompany my lunch with the nacho version ! Let me just say this about them: These chips (which not only made a dull tuna sandwich come alive) made me feel wonderful about eating something that would normally be laden in colors and fillers and ingredients I can't even pronounce into a healthier, fiber-rich vegan version that puts DORITOS to shame! Onto the next bag which were the naturally unsalted and I have to admit I thought these were going to be the one I would mention as not being as good as their flavored counter-parts but I was soooo wrong!! These were light, crispy and just as delightful and can be dipped into hearty soups or a nice light vegetable dip. My final (sigh) bag I sampled was sea salt and pepper. Wonderfully spicy.
In conclusion, I am most proud to recommend these to just about anyone, concerned about allergies?? These chips are free of every one of the FDA's top eight ingredients that trigger food allergies. Not only that but they are a company that cares about their consumer and making a product that is healthy, earth-friendly, tastes great and are cultivated to be the best and they are.
