Thanks, the Dreamfield info is just what I was looking for. It sounds as if you have cooked, dehydrated, and rehydrated it successfully. Not cheap, but do-able. I had not heard of black soybeans or of a lower carb bean. Over the weekend, hubby was lamenting having to gice up chili. (Yes, some people would not have to "give up chili." Understand though, that this is a guy who did not have a built in sense of limits. It is easier to not start than to stop. Like me with Cheezits.)

I will look for the black soy beans and try the Dreamfields soon.

Ketchup is said to have more sugar per teaspoon than ice cream. I was figuring on mixing vinegar, Splenda, and spices with low sodium tomato paste for us.
