Description:Are canned beans good for you? My answer is going to be yes. Beans, such as pinto beans or kidney beans or black beans that come in a bag and are dry, do take a long time to cook and if somebody has the time and desire, yes those are better than canned black beans or canned pinto beans. But we still, in canned beans, get the better benefit of a very high fiber food that has lots of nutrition, and it is a good vegetable source.(1:09)
