Bush's Beans launched a new line of organic plant-based bowl toppers and soups inspired by people who are part of some of the cultures that live the longest in the world. The products, created with the aid of Blue Zones, recognize the fact that there are similarities between those who thrive in these so-called Blue Zones of the world. Blue Zones identifies and researches these cultures and says these people eat "a mostly plant-based diet that includes at least a half cup of beans each day."
The brand's new products come in the form of cans and each of the four varieties features a different kind of beans. There are chickpeas, kale and tomatoes in the Curried Chickpeas Bowl Topper, and peppers, corn and Tex-Mex sauce in the Zesty Black Bean Bowl Topper variety.
