Bean pastas offer more protein than meat and with fewer emissions, Explore Cuisine exec notes
Explore Cuisine’s line up of legume-based pastas not only add variety to the noodle category, but it promotes a diet that is more sustainable and less taxing on the environment, said Erika Wasserman, vice president of marketing for the company. She explained, “Beans are one of the foods with the least emissions, while beef has the highest environmental cost, when considered according to caloric equivalents. For those looking to eat a planet-friendly, plant-based diet, Explore Cuisine alternative pastas have higher protein than chicken, beef or fish in just 2 ounces. Even better, Explore Cuisine only uses natural and organic ingredients, with the Black Bean Spaghetti featuring only ONE ingredient – black beans.”
