  • What makes Full of Beans Kitchen's pancake and waffle mix unique?

    We are proud to be one of the first companies to use fava bean as a main ingredient in our mix, making it a nutrient-dense food that obtains protein from whole ingredients.

It is also more easily digestible, adds flavor and texture, and is a sustainable choice.
