FAQ

Gluten-free is simply the absence of gluten, a protein found in all gluten containing grains which include: wheat (including wheat varieties like durum, spelt, farro, bulgur, semolina and kamut), barley, rye, tricticale and most oats products (due to cross-contamination - unless otherwise stated). To be grain-free means to exclude gluten-free grains from the diet as well. These include: corn, millet, rice and sorghum and often non-grains (pseudo-cereal grains) like amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa.

We use a very special combination of whole navy and whole pinto bean flours that have been soaked, cooked, dried and milled for easier absorption and nutrient bio-availability.

Yes. We use potato starch in all of our products. Potato starch is a superfood for your digestive system. You see, both potatoes and legumes (such as navy and pinto beans) contain high quantities of resistant starch - simply put, it's starch that passes through your digestive tract undigested. These starches have been shown to have powerful health benefits. Some of these include: 1. Improved insulin sensitivity - "Some studies have found a 33-50% improvement in insulin sensitivity after 4 weeks of consuming 15-30 grams perday." 2. Lower blood sugar levels - It's so effective at lowering blood sugar that, "it also has a second meal effect - meaning that if you eat resistant starch with breakfast, it will also lower the blood sugar spike at lunch." 3. Feeds the friendly bacteria in the intestines - Not just one species of bacteria but several, having a positive effect on the number of them as well. 4. Helps to create short-chain fatty acids - This feeds the cells in the colon wall which has several positive effects on the colon. 5. It lowers pH levels 6. It reduces inflammation - which should lower the risk of colorectal cancer 7. It has therapeutic effects that may be useful in treating inflammatory bowel diseases like Ulcerative Colitis and Chrohn's, diarrhea, constipation and diverticulitis. 8. Resistant starch has fewer calories per gram than regular starch (such as that found in a overripe banana). This helps to contribute to weight loss.
