Health Valley's Mild Vegetarian, Burrito, Three Bean, Lentil, and Spicy Black Bean canned vegetarian chilies are deliciously rich-tasting. The company clearly knows what to do with tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, herbs, and beans.

The company's "No Salt Added" flavors fall a bit flat, but you can perk them up with garlic, ground cumin, cayenne, and chili powder.

Just heat and eat...in a bowl, spooned over pasta or a baked potato, as a dip for baked chips, or rolled in a tortilla with a sprinkle of shredded low-fat cheese.

They are 99 percent fat-free, they are low in calories (160), and they are loaded with protein (13 grams per cup), fiber (12 grams -- half a day's worth), vitamin A (a day's worth), and vitamin C and iron (20 percent of a day's worth).

What sets Health Valley apart is that, unlike much of the competition, it relies on good cooking, not salt, for flavor. With 65 to 320 milligrams of sodium per cup, Health Valley runs rings around Hormel chilies like Vegetarian with Beans (780 mg) and Less Sodium with Beans (930 mg).
