Beans, broad, canned, re-heated, drained

Broad beans are the seeds of the broad bean plant, eaten as a vegetable. The figures here describe canned broad beans that have been reheated and drained. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with little fat. Per 100g, they contain 13g of carbohydrate, 8.3g of protein, 0.7g of fat and 0.73g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Broad beans also contain folate, which is needed for normal red blood cell formation. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as canned vegetables can contribute to the total amount consumed. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
