  • order your bean flour off the internet if it is not in your local market. Good luck!

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for your valuable comments. I would love to know who your online food provider is and would you recommend them as reputable, reliable and cost effective. I would really appreciate your feed back. Thanks

  • i really love them but chi chi come on they are not nutritional they are fried

  • Yes they are fried but each bean ball is packed with protein. They really do make for great snacky treats and because i make my balls fairly big and most times lay them on some kitchen tissue towels to absorb any of the excess oil, they are not as greasy as some i have had in the past. Got a few more recipes i will be posting soon. I will let you know.

see all
