Every tinned bean and pulse broken down by tin and drained weight, with fibre and salt compared against NHS daily reference intakes.
Pulses are among the highest-fibre foods available and supply useful plant protein. The only figure to watch is the salt in the packing liquid or sauce.
Rinsing removes a substantial share of the salt from pulses packed in brine, and also reduces the compounds associated with digestive discomfort.
No-added-salt varieties are widely available and make the simpler default for cooking with children.
Baked beans carry added sugar and salt in the sauce, so they sit apart from plain tinned pulses despite the same underlying bean.
Reduced-sugar and reduced-salt versions differ meaningfully from standard, and the gap within a brand is usually larger than between brands.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
