DRY BEANS Vermont Appaloosa
Beans have been a staple food in cuisine throughout the world for thousands of years. Archaeologists have discovered beans in ancient Egyptian tombs and in ruins of Native American habitats in the South- western United States. Packets contain 2 ounces of seed. Well-known as a powerhouse of nutrition, beans can also be a foundation for imaginative dishes. Abundant with soluble fiber, they combine well with grains. They are virtually fat-free, have no cholesterol and are a good source of vitamins. The mild flavor makes them perfect partners with spices and herbs. Extremely versatile, and delicious in appetizers, soups, salads, side dishes, sandwiches and main dishes.
