Beans are packed with fiber, protein, and are surprisingly among the top antioxidant foods on the planet. There are some of you out there who still soak, rinse, and cook your own beans. God bless you! We on the other hand appreciate the ultra-convenience of canned beans. We stock our pantries with canned black beans, kidney beans, pinto, black-eyes peas, cannellini beans (white beans), and chickpeas. Canned beans can be salty, so be sure to drain and rinse them before adding them to a dish. Believe it or not, rinsing beans can remove 30 to 40 percent of the sodium. If you think your family won’t like canned beans, you’ll be surprised how versatile and flavorful they can be. Just try our recipe and see for yourself.
