The Good Bean is a snack food company founded by Sarah Wallace and Suzanne Slatcher in 2010, and based in Berkeley, CA.[1]
The Good Bean specializes in chickpea based snacks. Chickpeas are high in fiber and protein, low in fat and are naturally gluten-free,[2] when roasted they have a clean nutty flavor.
Roasted chickpeas are a common snack around the world, often roasted on carts in the street, and known as chana in India, leblebi in Turkey, ceci in Italy.
The Good Bean's Roasted Chickpea Snacks are "Desi" variety chickpeas, dry roasted and tossed in spices.[3] The Fruit & No-Nut Bar is a nut-free variation of the popular fruit and nut energy bar.
