What is this food?
AI-assisted Dried white kidney beans (seed), cooked from dried beans. They’re a plant-based legume and a good source of protein and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted White kidney beans help you feel full longer because they’re high in dietary fiber (15.5 g per 100 g) and also provide protein (they’re a legume). The fiber supports healthy digestion and can help with steadier blood sugar after meals. They also have low fat (1.1 g total fat, 0.28 g saturated fat) and very low sodium (16 mg), which is helpful for everyday heart health. Since they’re also carbohydrate-containing (67.1 g total carbs) and fairly calorie-dense (354 kcal per 100 g), portion size matters—especially if you’re already eating rice or other starchy foods at the same meal.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - For meals: pair beans with rice or corn in a balanced portion (e.g., half rice, half beans) and add lots of non-starchy vegetables (like pechay, kangkong, carrots, or squash).
- For snacks: use a small serving of bean salad or mashed beans with veggies instead of sugary snacks.
- Soak dried beans overnight and cook until soft to improve texture and make them easier to digest.
- Watch added salt—choose less salty broth or season with garlic, onion, herbs, and spices.
- If you’re eating 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks daily, include beans in one meal or one snack rather than all day, so your total carbs and calories stay balanced.
