I learned that the owner Sarah Wallace is a veteran marketer in the natural products industry where she has worked with companies such as Clif Bar (where she launched Luna Bar), Kashi, Bear Naked, Think Products, and PopChips.

These look like a great alternative to nuts (cashews/almonds) which have really gotten expensive. We have been looking for a more cost effective snack and this just might be it!

I learned that the figures on the packages are HO figures and are originally made for model railroad scenes! :) That's cool.

Thanks!

Launched the Roasted Chickpea Snacks line in Sept. 2010

I learned The Good Bean uses a special variety of chickpea called the “Desi” chickpea.

I liked the Chickpea recipe section on the Good Bean site. My favorite was African curried coconut soup

I learned about Hexane and that it is a neurotoxic petrochemical solvent listed as a hazardous air pollutant with the EPA. It’s used to extract protein from soy, but they do not use that in their foods.

I learned that the chick peas are hand tossed in the spices! I also learned that they are nut free, which is awesome because while I'm not allergic, I don't tolerate nuts well!

I learned tehy Launched the Roasted Chickpea Snacks line in Sept. 2010

I learned from the site that "The Good Bean uses a special variety of chickpea called the “Desi” chickpea. These little guys have three times the soluble fiber, are a great source of plant protein, and have half the carbohydrates of the typical “Kabuli” chickpeas you find in cans everywhere."

I learned that they replaced the nuts with high-fiber, high-protein chickpeas for a bar that has 40-60% less fat than the competition.

I learned that The Good Bean launched in September 2010 with a line of first-to-market All-Natural Roasted Chickpea Snacks in 4 flavors.

I learned one serving has as much protein as an egg and the snacks are vegan!

They have bars that are great for people that have nut allergies! My friend is allergic to peanuts so I'll definitely tell her about these.

Unlike other healthy snacks like nuts, The Good Bean is low in fat, has no saturated fat, and is completely cholesterol-free. However, there is a small amount of oil used to help our spices stay on our chickpeas for maximum deliciousness!

The Good Bean is an artisanal product. The spices are sprinkled and then hand-tossed into the chickpeas. That’s why each chickpea looks a little bit different.
