Beans, broad, dried, raw

Broad beans are legumes, and the figures here describe the dried beans in their raw, uncooked form. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, they contain 33g of carbohydrate, 26g of protein and 2.1g of fat. Their salt content is 0.03g. They also provide minerals, including iron, magnesium and potassium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while carbohydrate provides energy. Dried broad beans need to be cooked before eating. They absorb water during preparation, so the nutrient content by weight will differ from these raw figures. Added salt or other ingredients can also change the nutritional content. Full figures are provided in the tables below.
