1.0 out of 5 stars Organic garbanzo beans wrapped in "Bisphenol A" lined cans, September 26, 2009

I went through the trouble to contact them and indeed they are using BPA lined cans.
BPA is the same substance removed from plastic baby bottles, because it is rated dangerous.
Many countries have already outlawed the use of BPA.
To be fair it has to be said that more than 90% of all manufactures of canned products in the US use epoxies containing BPA
Why can an "Organic" manufacturer not go the extra mile?
Look at Eden Food garbanzo beans right here at Amazon.
Eden Organic Garbanzo Beans, 15-Ounce Unit (Pack of 12)
They do not use BPA for their cans!
They might be slightly more expensive, but you save your body a substance that acts in your system like Oestrogen.

We like this brand of garbanzo bean a lot... good plain, or cooked with just about anything. Yummy!

Chickpeas will be added to my list of foods for the healthy and happy. Completely versatile, easily flavored, and totally healthy. Canned chickpeas are the only choice for convenient cooking (instead of buying dried beans and boiling). These Organic beans are great quality, like any other canned chickpea I have had the pleasure to come across.

Fry up some onions, carrots, and celery, add a can of chickpeas and teriyaki sauce and serve over rice for a delicious vegetarian-friendly stir fry.
