DRY BEAN INFORMATION
Beans have been a staple 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.
Well-known as a powerhouse of nutrition, beans can also be a founda- tion for imaginative dishes. Abundant with soluble fiber, they combine well with grains. They are virtually fat-free, have no cholesterol and are a source of vitamins. The mild flavor makes them perfect partners with spices and herbs. Extremely versatile, and delicious in appetiz- ers, soups, salads, side dishes, sandwiches and main dishes. Pack- ets contain 2 ounces.
