Cool Bean

Never heard of the adzuki bean? If the folks at Phoenix-based Boulder Canyon Foods have their way, people will be hearing a lot more about it. The company has rolled out the first mainstream consumer product in the United States to feature the subtly sweet bean, which is well known in the Far East for its natural healing and health properties. All-natural, small-batch-produced Boulder Canyon Rice & Adzuki Bean artisan snack chips come in Sun Dried Tomato with Basil, Chipotle Cheese and Natural Salt flavors, which offer a unique fusion of the tastes of Asia and the American Southwest. The suggested retail price range is $2.49 and $2.99 for a 5-ounce bag. For more information, visit http://bouldercanyonfoods.com/.
