About Us
BeanVIVO makes snacks & meal solutions from humble, yet nutritious beans and other legumes that are healthy, easy to make, delicious, and delivered with passion and purpose.
We are flavor hunters, snack lovers, and health nuts. With our Latin roots and our passion for a healthy lifestyle, we’ll continue to develop nourishing and flavorful foods using simple whole ingredients, while having legumes at the forefront of what we do.
We hope you enjoy.
Our Story
From our early beginnings at local farmers markets in San Diego, or working from our garage, our mission has not changed: developing tasty and convenient ready-to-eat foods by elevating one of nature’s most nutritious ingredients – beans!
We are on a journey to craft specialty foods using sustainably-sourced legumes paired with other Latin and global flavors.Thinking globally but acting locally, by sourcing & supporting bean farmers here in the US.
Our ingredients
What drives us at BeanVIVO is doing what’s best for people and the environment ... from farm to fork! All of our products are rich in plant protein, non-GMO, and sustainably-farmed in the US.
We’ve learned about the positive implications of farming beans & legumes as great rotation crops, by returning nitrogen to our soil.
When eaten instead of animal-protein, they can also lead to an overall reduction of each eater’s environmental footprint. We’ve also discovered the macro and micronutrients found in beans, packed with protein, fiber, iron, good carbs and more.
Beans are a real powerhouse of benefits for our planet and our health!
We love Bean alive!
We are always travelling to tradeshows, visiting universities, and discovering new ways we can bring our healthy snacks to the world - and we like to have fun along the way!
What's the point of eating nutritious foods to help you live a long healthy life if you aren't going to do it with a smile on your face? 😉
