Beans, pinto, dried, raw

Pinto beans are a type of pulse. The figures here describe whole, dried, raw beans, rather than cooked or canned beans. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with 57g of carbohydrate and 21g of protein per 100g. They also contain 1.6g of fat and 520µg of folate per 100g.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while folate is needed for normal cell division and red blood cell formation. Dried pinto beans need to be cooked before eating. They absorb water during cooking, so these figures do not represent the same weight of cooked beans. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
