on a trip to New Orleans. I came back with black bean soup and jambalaya mix. A friend of mine introduced me to a company that produces precooked beans and legumes. These products are cooked under infrared heat with water which is a natural organic way of cooking the product. I developed some soup mixes, and a friend suggested that I sell them at the farmers markets. After being diagnosed with breast cancer I decided that I would like to have a healthy lifestyle so these products became all MSG free vegetarian and gluten-free. There is no added salt as well.
