Minglement offers significant choices of Organic Heirloom beans, peas and lentils. We love these nutritious colorful foods and offer them in bulk.  Beans have been a mainstay on our shelves and we so are happy the trend for using beans more often has finally moved towards the mainstream and not just for “poor folk” anymore.  We are so happy to see them back in favor and flying off our shelves!

Beans, peas lentils, chickpeas (pulses) are are rich in protein, fiber and micro-nutrients and are gluten free.
