All beans are relatively healthy. Beans — regardless of their variety — are high in protein, rich in fiber, and contain a range of vitamins and minerals. Even the slightly less healthy options still have that nutritional base to work from. So, when we're thinking about comparatively unhealthy beans, it's due to extras such as added sugar, high sodium levels, and the addition of processed meats.

If you're looking to discover which canned beans are nutritionally sound and which are unhealthy, you've come to the right place. We'll go over some popular unhealthy and healthy options. But remember, it's all about balance when it comes to food, so it's fine to eat the less healthy options as part of a varied, balanced diet.

This published article compared the nutritional information of a variety of popular types of canned beans at the store. By comparing this empirical data, we could find the healthiest beans and some of the most unhealthy. We looked at information from university departments and articles written or reviewed by registered dieticians or medical professionals.
