While working on a home school project with her daughter to aid in her understanding of the health benefits of the navy bean, Imani's Original Bean Pies was born. When the pies were sold in a successful fundraiser for the home school known as Your Child Care, NFP, it proved to be a business that could benefit communities.

Background
The bean pie is a creation born out of the dietary code of the Nation of Islam led by The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. In his book, "How To Eat To Live," Mr. Muhammad outlined a detailed set of guidelines for eating, designed to improve health and prolong life.
Bean pies are traditionally made from navy beans. The beans are boiled until soft then pureed with milk, eggs, and sugar. Nutmeg and cinnamon are added to season the mixture. The bean puree is then poured into a pie crust then baked until the filling sets. The result is a flavorful and delicious pie with smooth filling.
