Grocery Shopping Find

Last night after work, Bryan and I desperately needed to go grocery shopping.  I’m not sure how we lasted as long as we did.  Good thing I had a lot of stuff to hold us over. 

While grocery shopping, I came across these amazing chips!  Someone I work with had these the other day and I completely forgot about them until I saw them at the grocery store.  Let me introduce you to Beanitos.  (Please note: I bought these with my own money and I am not being endorsed by the brand or any of its affiliates). 

Here are the details:

• Beanitos are corn free.  They are the only black bean chips that are 100% corn free.  I haven’t had much corn lately, because much of it is genetically modified.  GMO sweet corn is genetically engineered to be herbicide resistant and to produce its own insecticide (Bt Toxin). Like all GMOs, genetically modified sweet corn has not been thoroughly tested to ensure that it is safe for consumption.  Although genetically altered foods have been deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration, do you really want to eat that?
• Beanitos are gluten free, trans fat free, cholesterol free and kosher. 
• Beanitos are high in fiber.  Beanitos have 5g of fiber in each serving (10 chips).

What is in Beanitos?

Beanitos have the following ingredients:  whole black beans, whole grain rice, pure sunflower oil, guar bean gum and sea salt.  I love when the food I’m eating has a short ingredient list and I can pronounce all of the ingredients! 

Check out this nutritional label!  Not bad!

I think I am officially addicted to these things.  I’m telling you.  You need to go an buy a bag and let me know what you think.  I picked mine up at Giant (which is a grocery store in my area).  You can probably check your local store and see if they have them there.  I bought mine for $2.
