Beans, butter, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Butter beans are a type of pulse. The figures here describe dried butter beans that have been soaked and boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate, fibre and protein. Per 100g, they contain 17g of carbohydrate, 11g of fibre, 8.1g of protein and 1.1g of fat.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. These beans contain only trace amounts of salt when prepared without added salt, which is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake. Adding salt, sauces or other ingredients will change the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutritional figures are shown in the tables below.
