***EDEN organic Bean Facts:

  1. Their cans are BPA, BPS, and phthalate-free.

  2. They also contain no chemicals like calcium chloride and calcium disodium EDTA, just two of thousands of FDA approved processing aids that are allowed, most commonly undeclared, in our food.

  3. Eden's beans are grown organically as close to Eden Foods as can be arranged and as growing season climates allow. For instance, EDEN Pinto Beans are grown in the thumb of Michigan, but bean growers know that one year out of seven years they will get no crop either from too much or not enough rain. Consequently, they work with growers in upstate New York and Idaho to ensure that Eden needs are reliably met. Another example is chickpeas (garbanzo beans) that need a more arid climate than they have locally. They work with growers in southern California and Arizona. Another example is lentils. They prefer a more arid northerly climate, and get them from Montana, Saskatchewan, and Western North Dakota.
