Question 1

do they contain arsenic?

Accepted Answer

I have no idea. Good question. You should always rinse them. You can use vinegar and water to rinse.

Question 2

Is the packaging compostable?

Accepted Answer

I honestly don’t know as we repurposed this. Their beans are wonderful, and service great. 10 🌟

Question 3

Only 1/4 of these black beans were sprouted. Have other people successfully sprouted these black bean? Are they been irradiated?

Accepted Answer

Hi there,  I'm sorry to hear sprouting isn't going well. Our Black Beans are USDA certified organic and raw therefore they should sprout. The process can be very tricky. Soybeans, for example, require 2-12 hours of soaking and then the water must be changed 2-3 times a day (the beans rinsed and drained) to avoid any decay. Having the right temperature and light conditions can make all the difference. We published a blog article with sprouting instructions. There are some helpful tips you may want to check out. Since all of our products are organic, they are not irradiated, which is prohibited under the definition of USDA certified organic. Blessings!

Question 4

Does this facility processes tree-nuts? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Hi there! Below is our larger statement on nut allergies, but the summary version is while we don't offer or process nuts ourselves, we are not a certified nut-free facility, so if you have serious or life-threatening allergies, as much as we would like you as a customer, we would encourage you to buy certified nut-free.
