Navy bean
What it is
Navy beans are small white beans. The selected record describes mature beans boiled without salt, not canned baked beans in sauce.
What it does
Each 100 g cooked supplies 8.23 g of protein, 10.5 g of fiber and 140 micrograms of folate. Folate is involved in normal cell division.
Research context and ingredient forms
White beans are not one identical nutrient profile. The navy-bean record should not automatically be assigned to every white-bean variety or to a prepared bean soup.
Using this information
For canned navy beans, check the label for sodium and serving basis. If weighing a drained portion, compare it with a profile that excludes canning liquid.
