Beans are a nutritious and versatile plant-based ingredient enjoyed in cuisines all around the world. But not all beans are grown in the same way. One of the key differences between organic and conventional beans lies in how they are cultivated.
Grown according to organic standards
Our organic beans are grown in accordance with EU organic farming regulations. This means that synthetic fertilizers and synthetic chemical pesticides are not permitted. Instead, farmers use practices such as crop rotation, natural fertilization methods and measures that support biodiversity in and around their fields.
Conventional farming follows different production methods and may allow the use of synthetic fertilizers and crop protection products within legal requirements and food safety standards.
The role of beans in agriculture
Beans have a unique characteristic: they can fix nitrogen from the air and make it available to the soil. Because of this, beans are often included in crop rotations and can contribute to maintaining soil fertility. That makes beans a valuable crop for farmers, as well as a delicious ingredient for a wide range of meals.
At Amaizin, we choose 100% organic beans. By doing so, we support certified organic farming and make it easier for people to enjoy flavourful plant-based meals. From burritos and chilli to curries and salads, our organic beans are a simple way to add colour, texture and taste to everyday cooking.
