The demand for Beanfields corn-free tortilla chips continues to grow. More and more snackers are digging in to the flavor-packed crunch and learning about the benefits. Moms love to send their kids to school with these award-winning chips made from beans and rice— packed full of protein, fiber, and minerals. They’re certified gluten-free, non‐GMO verified, vegan, kosher and are free from the top eight most common food allergens.
“Beanfields chips have been on store shelves for three and a half years in the western United States and in New York metro— We’ve been thrilled with the response,” says founder and president Reed Glidden. “Now we’re getting the same love from fans across the United States and Canada. Wherever we go, people just love our chips.”
The new Ranch and Barbecue flavors are getting more and more kudos from food critics and the blogging community. Phil Lempert, Today Show Food Editor and Supermarket Guru rated Beanfields Barbecue flavor a “Hit”. Alisa Fleming, the Senior Editor at Allergic Living and founder of GoDairyFree.org, rated the Ranch flavor as one of the Top 10 New Dairy-Free Products for 2014.
