Yeast Free Living

Beans are a terrific source of protein and fiber but we do not always have the time necessary to cook beans.  Many dried beans require hours of soaking and even after soaking usually still have very long cook times.  Preparing dried beans is something that I choose to do on the weekend.   I know that canned foods are not really recommended on the Candida Diet but after some thorough label reading I did uncover some canned beans that may be helpful and still adhere to the diet in a crunch.

Nature’s Promise Organic Black Beans are delicious over rice, in dips and can be used in a variety of recipes.  Nature’s Promise Organic is a Stop & Shop brand.  I am not typically a Stop and Shop customer but I was there one night getting a movie from the Redbox and needed to run in.  I was delighted to find this organic line of products and even more excited at the price.   This can of beans was actually cheaper that the ones I had found at Trader’s Joes.   The ingredients in Nature’s Promise Organic Black Beans include Prepared Organic Black Beans, Water and Sea Salt.  Based on the label it appears that they are Candida Diet friendly.
