Loblaws' Superstores carry Eden products in the health food section.
Just be aware ... there's a myth out there in cyberland about the Eden black soybeans, that they're only 1g ECC/net carbs per ½ cup portion. You see, they list total carbs 8g, fiber 7g. Hmmm ... I suspected that the fiber was pre-subtracted, and indeed a little calorie-math showed this to be so. Just to be sure though, I emailed the Eden company about this, and they did confirm that the fiber has been pre-subtracted.
So you count the full 8g carbs per ½ cup. Still, that's not bad for beans, and they do taste good ... nice to have some chili with beans for a change.
