This review has been updated with new Beanfield’s flavors and packaging (shown just below and in the final picture on this page)!
The “healthy” chip market has exploded in recent years, but one manufacturer has broken away from the pack by producing corn-free tortilla chips in amazing dairy-free flavors. Beanfield’s Bean and Rice Chips are made simply with black and navy beans, rice, oil, and natural seasonings.
Consequently, Beanfield’s Chips pack in around 4 grams each of fiber, protein and fats per serving and 4% of the RDA for calcium. I think four is the lucky number for this little company!
Some other tasty facts about Beanfield’s Bean and Rice Chips include the following:
- Farmed and made in the USA, and are non-GMO Project Verified.
- Gluten-Free, free of the Top 8 Allergens (including dairy), and as mentioned, they are even free of other relatively common allergens, like corn.
- Currently available in
fiveseventen varieties. - Available in multi-serve and single-serve packs, which are great for lunch boxes.
As for the flavors, we liked every single one. I’m not just being nice either, they are seriously scrumptious. Even our picky young testers agreed. Below I’ve included our tasting notes for each of the Beanfield’s Bean and Rice Chips varieties.
Tasting Notes for Beanfield’s Bean and Rice Chips
Unsalted
These are good, thick, crunchy, and not overtly “beany” in any way. They’re a great all-around chip for those who shun sodium.
Sea Salt
Since we like salt, these would be our baseline chip. Each bite had just the right amount of seasoning to address cravings.
Salt & Pepper
This flavor has so much pure black pepper that it actually provides a natural warming heat. Nonetheless, the spice is tempered with just the right amount of sea salt.
Pico de Gallo
I would describe this chip as full of flavor, but with a mild salsa-like kick. Tony devoured these SO fast that I really only got to try a few.
Nacho
This cheesy dairy-free chip won a coveted VegNews Best of Show Award upon release. I concur that they are addictive, unique, bold, and not the least bit artificial.
Ranch
These do have a ranch-flavored vibe. But regardless of how close they are to the original, these gems are flavor-packed and we all loved them.
Barbecue
Each bite has a lightly sweet but savory barbecue flavor with a wonderful smoky vibe that’s beyond addictive.
White Bean with Sea Salt
This could be my favorite new all-purpose chip. They’ve got a pleasant flavor that stands on its own, yet is neutral enough to pair with dips or use in recipes.
Black Bean with Sea Salt
Matching their deeper hue, these have a slight earthy flavor that reminds me a bit of flax seed. Still good, but more of a dip-delivery chip for me!
Jalapeno Nacho
Woowee! For those of you who were disappointed in the mild mannered Pico de Gallo, this flavor has a hot temper! They aren’t dangerously spicy, but do pack quite a punch.

OMG I love these chips better than Boulders Coconut Oil Potato Chips and Avocado Oil Potato Chips. They are so delicious and addictive. I hope they are as healthy as they are tasty! LOVE LOVE!
I think they are 🙂

I recently purchased a bag of Beanfields Black Bean, Navy Beans & Brown Rice Nacho chips at Whole Foods. I do not eat chips that often, but WF’s had such a nice selection of these chips, I decided to try them. They are tasty, and quite good, and of course, I love the fact they have healthier ingredients then most chips. I will probably try some of the other varieties as well!
That’s great! Thanks for sharing your own review Sharon – very helpful for all.
Are your products kept separated from the products that may contain wheat? I have celiac and I nervous upon reading your allergen information!
Hi Stefanie, you will need to reach out to Beanfield’s directly, I’m not affiliated with them. Here is their website – http://www.beanfieldssnacks.com/

Alisa – your review has inspired me to give these a try. Because my kids and I have to avoid dairy (and gluten), we are always on the lookout for a new and tasty snack. Thank you. And keep up the great work on your web site.
I don’t think you will be disappointed Trey – they are super flavorful and have a nice crunch!
It’s nice to have a corn free option, they are super crunchy and very tasty
I was really impressed with the Ranch flavor. Definitely good when you are craving something salty.
Me, too! That Ranch was a surprise, and their newest flavor I think.
I love this product! As someone who is a gluten free vegan it’s nice to have an indulgence every once in awhile. Sea salt is my favorite flavor.
THANK YOU Beanfields!!! Several months ago, we learned that our son needed to reduce his already restricted diet by one more major ingredient: corn This was a bit of a bummer to be sure; nachos has been one of his absolute favorite foods! Luckily, we sampled a bag of Beanfields and he is such a happy camper!! His favorites are the Nacho flavor and Pico de Gallo flavor but we also use the Sea Salt flavor to make our own nachos!!!
That’s so wonderful, Sue! Those seem to be the “hottest” flavors!
I absolutely love Beanfields (Nacho & Pico de Gallo esp). I have a nerve condition that requires me to eat a good amount of protein and sodium. These chips fit the bill perfectly and taste delicious.
Thanks for sharing Gretchen – we really like the Nacho, too!
