Canned beans

A variety of beans and other legumes are available canned in salt, water, and preservatives. Canned beans are pre-cooked to make them easier to prepare for consumers. They may be substituted in recipes which call for cooked beans, however the canned variety may have a more soft and mushy texture than their dried and soaked counterparts.^[1] Canned beans may also refer to pork and beans, typically served in a tomato-based sauce flavored by pork,^[2] or canned baked beans.

No-salt added canned beans are also available. Canned beans are typically sold at grocery stores, organic food stores, and bulk food stores.^[3]

Home canned beans may be prepared in a variety of ways.^[4] Safety measures must be taken when canning beans at home, as improperly canned beans can cause illness to the consumer.^[5]
