Canned Beans Are Convenient

[Intro Music] Welcome to MyPyramid Podcasts, brought to you by the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. I’m your host, sharing tips you can use everyday to eat right and get active. 

[Sound Effects: cash register, supermarket] Today, I’ll explain how canned foods save you time. Choose a variety of canned beans to add to soups, salads, stews or as side dishes. Buying canned beans frees you up from the hours of soaking and cooking dried beans. Check the Nutrition Facts on canned foods. Canned beans pack all the fiber and nutrients as the dried version. They’re also great in chili and soups.

That’s it for today. To find out more information about eating and living healthy, go on our website at MyPyramid.gov for more great tips. Talk with you next time!
