Details
EDENBlack Bean & Quinoa Chili is Michigan organic black turtle beans and organic whole grain quinoa from farmers we know and trust. Their diligent care and vital soil produce pure vibrant food. The organic quinoa is from small family plots 11,500 feet high in the Andes mountains that we annually visit.
Black turtle beans are purified water washed, soaked overnight, steam blanched and expertly cooked with organic quinoa, Japanese maitake and shiitake mushrooms, and organic vegetables. They are canned in a savory sauce of organic tomato puree seasoned with a bit of EDENSea Salt and an Eden selected blend of organic chili spices. Whole grain quinoa and maitake mushrooms lend a full texture that chili lovers desire. Our certified organickosher cannery, Meridian Foods in east central Indiana, has a long standing reputation for producing cooked canned beans of the finest fill and finish.
EDENChilies are packed in steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c-enamel that does not contain the endocrine disrupter chemical,bisphenol-A (BPA). Oleoresin is a natural mixture of an oil and a resin extracted from various plants, such as pine or balsam fir. These cans cost 14% more than the industry standard cans that do contain BPA. The can maker, Ball Corporation, tells us that Eden is the only U.S. food maker to date to use these BPA free cans and we have been since April 1999.
EDENChilies are unique. Most brands contain meat or textured vegetable protein (TVP) that is chemically extracted from genetically engineered soybeans. EDENBlack Bean & Quinoa Chili combines beans and whole grain. Beans are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in most grain, lysine and threonine. Whole grains complement beans delivering complete protein. Enjoying a variety of whole grain and beans is a solid step toward healthy living.

Studies show beans contain a wealth of antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in theJournal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
