Flavored Bean Snacks

Brami's Lupini Bean Snack Comes in Four Protein-Rich Varieties

— March 11, 2016 — Lifestyle
Beans are often associated with hearty lunch and dinner meals, but Brami's ready-to-eat lupini beans are offered in a convenient format for on-the-go snacking.

As described on the bags, the bean snacks can be eaten whole or shelled and come in four flavorful varieties: Sea Salt, Garlic & Herb, Chili Lime and Hot Pepper.

Earlier this year, the United Nations declared 2016 as the 'International Year of Pulses,' which includes seeds that grow in pods, such as beans, chickpeas, lentils and peas that are high in plant-based protein, fiber, minerals and vitamins. In addition to being beneficial to those who eat them, pulses are known to increase the fertility of soil and be of benefit to the environment. Expect to see more of these plant-based proteins from pulses in the snacking category and beyond.
