Cool Beans - Colorado Bean Showcase

Come hear the fascinating farm-to-table story of two local pinto bean products, zesty kettle-cooked beans and a pinto tempeh. The kettle-cooked beans recipe developer and tempeh maker will both share their stories, then 5 teams (1 professional chef paired with local university students) will each showcase the delicious versatility of these products and sample their creations, providing "food for thought" on how to prepare these in your institution's kitchen. Beans are incredibly nutritious and sustainable, and plant-based menus can help lower business costs. We sincerely hope you will join us to hear how you can simultaneously support local farmers, businesses, and the health and well-being of your patrons and our communities, all at a competitive price! Come join us for some lunch and learning! It's only 2 hours!
