About Refried beans, canned, fat-free
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is one of the world's most important legumes, the single species behind a huge family of beans including kidney, pinto, black, navy, cannellini, great northern, and cranberry beans. Whether dried and rehydrated or eaten fresh as green string beans, they are a true nutritional powerhouse, loaded with plant protein, fiber, iron, folate, potassium, and slow-digesting complex carbohydrates that keep you full and your energy steady.
Beans are a dietary staple across the globe, simmered into chili, soups, and stews, mashed into refried beans, baked, tossed into salads, pureed into dips, and paired with rice to make a complete protein. Dried beans are inexpensive and need soaking and a long, gentle simmer, while canned beans offer everyday convenience, ready in minutes after a quick rinse. Soak dried beans overnight before cooking to shorten the time and make them easier to digest, add salt toward the end so the skins stay tender, and store dried beans in a cool, dry place, using them within a year for the best texture.
