[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use Pomi also.  I don't buy canned tomatoes anymore, unless I can find Eden Organic.  I do still want to have prepared beans on hand so I buy Eden Organic or Fig Food beans in boxes (similar to the Pomi boxes).

With dried beans, I find it's helpful to add salt and tomatoes (if I'm using them) later in the cooking process, to avoid toughening the beans.  I usually use a quick-soak method.[/quote]

I remember reading somewhere that Eden still used BPA in their tomato cans, but that they were trying to figure out a way to get rid of it.  That was a while back -- don't know the current status.[/quote]

I think this is still the case-- no one has found a BPA-free lining that's suitable for tomato canning, though a few companies do BPA-free for beans.

Pomi is good for tomatoes, and there are a few other brands that do glass containers. One starts with an "L" and is carried a lot of places. I get ours at Yes Organic Market, but Whole Foods has options, too.[/quote]
