Introducing Garden Truck’s Bean Based Pepperoni

We’ve spent over ten years studying sustainable plant-based foods. Animal farming harms animals and is a top cause of climate change and deforestation. More people are choosing plant-based foods now.

As food experts, this change guides my work. Our research shows the Pinto Bean is versatile and sustainable. It’s the main ingredient in our popular “Pepperoni.”

Pinto beans are healthy and eco-friendly. Each 3-ounce servings of beans in our pepperoni has:

  Sustainability of Pinto Beans

  Pinto beans stand out as an exceptionally eco-friendly crop because they require significantly less water, land, and energy compared to traditional animal-based foods. One of their critical environmental benefits is their natural ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for synthetic chemical fertilizers. This, in turn, lowers pollution levels and cuts down greenhouse gas emissions substantially.

  Key points to consider:

  • Pinto beans produce far fewer greenhouse gases than meat, especially beef, making them a climate-friendly protein choice.

  • They consume less water than staple crops such as corn and wheat, contributing to water conservation efforts.

  • Their nitrogen-fixing properties enrich the soil naturally, improving fertility and reducing dependency on hazardous agrochemicals.

  • When integrated into crop rotation systems, pinto beans help prevent pest infestations and plant diseases, supporting healthier ecosystems.

  • Enhanced soil health from growing pinto beans translates into better crop yields and long-term agricultural resilience.

  With their rich nutritional profile combined with outstanding sustainability benefits, we proudly develop our diverse bean-based dishes grounded in these proven agronomic practices. These methods not only boost environmental health but also elevate the overall quality and flavor of our offerings.

  Creating a successful plant-based restaurant concept demands more than just serving delicious food; it requires a bold and uncompromising vision that prioritizes sustainability at every level of operation.
