Andi Woolf-Weibye, executive director of the Idaho Bean Commission (better known around the office as the Bean Queen), joins us to talk about one of Idaho's most underrated crops.
We dig into why Idaho leads the nation in bean seed production, how beans quietly boost the state's economy by tens of millions of dollars, and why the humble bean shows up in everything from burritos to gluten-free chocolate cake. Plus: garbanzo beans, coffee beans, and why neither one gets to call itself a real bean.
