Who is behind GENTLE BEANS®?
Amy Jo Johnson
I was born and grew up in Wisconsin, a real mid-westerner raised on a farm where I spent a lot of time outdoors in the garden and in nature searching for frogs and four-leafed clovers.
Later, my love of nature realized itself as a passion for food and health. This led to a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN.
I have been experiencing life through exciting career and travel adventures around the world, where I could use this passion and love for food at various companies and continue to gain knowledge from so many interesting people.
I now live near Zürich, Switzerland with my husband and our two children. It was here, as I was trying to creatively increase the nutrition in meals for my family, that I started to recognize a missing element in the world of food and nutrition, especially within the range of vegetarian proteins.
Driven by my love of food, nutrition research, and pure determination, I experimented for many, many months (years?) to figure out the perfect process for bean flour. Finally, one day, it all fell into place and GENTLE BEANS® was born.
