Nutritious school meals – that students actually like – are important. That’s why beans are a perfect option for both breakfast and lunch. Beans are simply delicious and naturally nutritious.

All beans are good sources of protein, excellent sources of fiber, and fat-, cholesterol-, and sodium-free. Beans are also good sources of many essential vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, copper, iron, folate, manganese, magnesium, selenium, and zinc.

We are looking to expand our recipe collection of school meals that feature beans. Submit your favorite bean-inspired recipe for a chance to win! Recipes can be geared towards breakfast or lunch but must meet requirements for the School Breakfast Program or the National School Lunch Program.
