Healthy Living Alternatives: Meatless Recipes from S&W

The California bean company explores new taste combinations of classic offerings.

Tempe, AZ (prHWY.com) August 7, 2011 - CALIFORNIA, 2011 --Founded in 1896 by three grocery wholesalers from San Francisco, S&W has become a household name throughout North America and the world. Following a tradition of quality and excellence, the company has produced nutritious food products -- from all kinds of beans such as common black and white beans, garbanzo and pinto beans, to meatless recipes featuring ready-to-eat bean and spice combinations.

Eating healthy is the latest trend;but eating healthy is harder than it seems, due to the variety of pre-made products full of preservatives, high sodium and sugar content, but almost no nutritional value. Combine this with the pace of life as we live it now --where people hardly have time to prepare a decent, nourishing meal with the right combination of protein, vitamins, and other healthy-living essentials -- and it's not surprising that the average American has a high probability of acquiring a lifestyle disease by the age of 30.

But we need not take a pessimistic view altogether. There are still healthy food options available to the ordinary consumer. One of these is being provided by the S&W Company, which has offered bean products to consumers since 1896. Cultivating a healthy lifestyle is indeed possible, as S&W has shown time and time again. The company has been one of the leading manufacturers of quality beans worldwide, continuing and expanding this tradition with a new variety of full-flavored bean sauces, influenced by various world cuisines. Along with this, S&W has created a line of products that contain 50% less sodium, and a recipe library with savory meatless recipes.

Among the meatless recipes featured by S&W are entrees such as Cuban Black Bean Stuffed Peppers, Kidney Bean and Cheese Casserole, and a new take on an old classic: Spicy Black Bean Burgers. As seen from these recipes, beans can easily take the place of white or red meat when it comes to nutrition content; they provide fiber, calcium, iron, folic acid, and potassium, and are the only food that fits into two groups on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid: both as vegetable and as protein. "My husband and kids are the ultimate carnivores...but when they tried the Spicy Black Bean Burger I made courtesy of S&W, they loved it!" exclaims Maddie Lennox, a sworn vegetarian. Nutritious food is worth a try, if it's as tasty and healthy as S&W meatless bean recipes.
