As you can see on the nutritional panel there is only 10mg of sodium per serving. Most canned beans have anywhere from 200mg - 400mg per serving! I could bloat and have a heart attack just thinking about it!
Beans are a great source of protein, especially if you are vegetarian. But they can be time consuming to make, so that's why these canned beans are such a good find. Just pop open the can and you're ready (although I do like to run them under some water before I eat them). They are a great addition to a salad, they are perfect for making hummus, and they can even add thickness to a soup or sauce (recipes to come!).
Bonus, they are only $0.99!

Since becoming a vegetarian, garbanzo beans have become a staple for me. They're surprisingly versatile.. and delicious! I use them all the time.
