Bean Recipes: Flavorful Concoctions Packed with Nutrients

Aug. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- MINNESOTA, 2011 — If there’s any company that knows its products down pat, it’s S&W Beans. Since 1896, the company has changed along with the times, while preserving its traditional offerings. S&W Beans offers a multitude of bean products ranging from classic black, kidney, white, and red beans to 50% -less-sodium beans to chili beans and new bean recipes collections.

Eating habits have changed over the years. A mere 20 years ago, families were not as fully conscious of what they were consuming; today, more and more individuals and families have become aware of the benefits of healthy eating. Living a healthy lifestyle is tantamount to eating the right food — and there is a lot of emphasis nowadays on more vegetables and fruits and a balanced diet, as well as consuming food products that are free from harmful preservatives and chemicals.

S&W Beans is one company that has progressed with the times. This hasn’t been a difficult process, since it has already been producing healthy food since 1896. S&W stays true to its commitment of providing consumers everywhere with highly nutritious bean products simply by continuing its tradition of quality. S&W has long been known for its classic beans; who hasn’t grown up with heaping helpings of black, white, kidney, pinto, butter, or red beans on their plates?

Nowadays, S&W has improved on its already superior products by offering a more varied selection for the modern consumer — 50%-less-sodium beans, for one. It has also come up with a new recipe collection that features appetizing bean combinations: pinquito beans with onion & cumin, jalapeño black beans with lime juice, Cuban recipe black beans with onion, peppers, & cumin, and chipotle pinto beans.

Come to think of it, there are many menus that use beans as a main or side ingredient. It can be said that beans go well with almost anything: meat, fish, chicken, or other vegetables. The amazing qualities and nutritional value that beans possess even make them an ideal substitute for meat. With that in mind, S&W has also put its “head” together with talented chefs to create fantastic bean recipes. From appetizers such as bean pot stickers, white bean bruschetta with arugula, and blueberry bean muffins…to entrees such as black bean and walnut burgers, chicken and biscuits with beans, and curried garbanzo beans and rice…to desserts such as black bean brownies and Idaho spicy bean cake, S&W’s bean recipes are mouthwatering, indeed.
