Beans, butter, canned, re-heated, drained

Butter beans are a type of pulse. These figures describe canned butter beans with no added salt, after reheating and draining. They mainly provide carbohydrate and plant protein, with 13g of carbohydrate and 5.9g of protein per 100g. They also contain 0.5g of fat and 290mg of potassium per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. These beans contain only a trace of salt, reflecting the no-added-salt products used for the data. Salt content can differ between canned products, so this is worth noting when comparing labels.
