U.S. Bean Producing States
North Dakota is the leading
U.S. bean producing state.
• Beans are grown and eaten all over the world.
• Brazil is the world’s leading producer of beans.
• North Dakota and Minnesota produce nearly
50% of the total U.S. bean crop each year.
• In 2010 more than 1.9 million acres in the U.S.
were planted with dry beans.

American farmers grow three times as
many pinto beans as any other bean.

1. Pinto beans (48%)
2. Navy beans (17%)
3. Black beans (13%)
4. Red Kidney (light or dark) (8%)
5. Great Northern beans (5%)
6. Other beans (9%)

The red specks on cranberry beans
disappear when they are cooked.
Black Beans are medium-size, oval-shaped beans with matte
black skin. They are sweet-tasting with a soft texture.
Cranberry Beans are medium-size, oval-shaped beans with
mottled tan and red skin. They are also called Roman beans.
Cranberry beans are known for their creamy texture with a
flavor similar to chestnuts. The red specks disappear when
these beans are cooked.
Great Northern Beans are medium-size, oval-shaped beans
with thin white skin. They have a mild, delicate flavor..
Navy beans got their name because
they were included in the Naval diet.
Dark Red Kidney Beans are large, kidney-shaped beans with a
deep, glossy red skin. They have a firm texture, and they hold
up well in soups or other dishes that cook for a long time.
Light Red Kidney Beans are large, kidney-shaped beans with
light red/pink glossy skin. They have a firm texture, and they
hold up well in soups or other dishes that cook for a long
time.
Navy Beans are small, oval-shaped beans with white skin.
They have a delicate flavor. These white beans were named
Navy Beans because of their inclusion in the U.S. Naval diet
during the second half of the 19th Century.
The brown specks on pinto beans
disappear when they are cooked.
Pink Beans are small, oval-shaped beans with a pale, pink
skin.
Pinto Beans are medium-size, oval-shaped beans with
mottled beige and brown skin. Pinto beans lose their
mottled appearance when cooked.
Small Red Beans are small, oval-shaped beans with red skin.
They have a more delicate flavor and softer texture
compared to kidney beans.

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
identified beans as a unique food!
MyPlate Recommendations
1 cup cooked beans =
1 cup vegetables
¼ cup cooked beans =
1 ounce protein equivalent
Eating beans can help fill nutrient
gaps in the standard American diet.
• Beans are among the most commonly
consumed vegetables and outrank many other
vegetables in the range of nutrients they
provide, particularly fiber and potassium.
• Fiber and potassium were identified as
nutrients of concern by the 2010 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans.

Chapter 3:
Beans & Health
Frequently consuming beans may aid
in weight management.
• Bean consumption is associated with lower body
weight and smaller waist circumference.
• Beans are good sources of vegetable protein and
fiber, which increase satiety, reduce hunger, and help
control appetite.
• Diets rich in whole grains and vegetable protein are
associated with a lower body weight.

Frequently consuming beans may
reduce risk of heart disease.
Studies have associated a plant-based diet as having a
protective effect against cardiovascular disease.
• Frequent bean consumption is associated with lower serum
triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and blood pressure.
• People who eat beans four or more times per week have a
22% lower risk of coronary heart disease.
• Dietary fiber intake is inversely associated with markers of
inflammation; beans are an excellent source of dietary fiber.

People with diabetes who eat beans
tend to have better glycemic control.
• Low GI (glycemic index) and GL (glycemic load) diets
are associated with lower short-term and long-term
blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
• Studies suggest that consuming pulses with highglycemic meals contributes to reduced food intake
and lower blood glucose following the meal.

Low GI foods like beans
increase blood sugar very slowly.
Beans are an important protein
source for vegans and vegetarians.
• Beans have been identified as an excellent
meat replacement for those choosing to
follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
• The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
recommend:
– Vegetarians consume 4 cups of legumes,
including beans, per week.
– Vegans consume 4 ¾ cup legumes per week.
Beans are a gluten-free food that may be
beneficial for people with celiac disease.
Beans are a good source of nutrients often
lacking in the diets of people with celiac disease,
including:
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Fiber

Regularly eating beans may reduce risk of
colon and rectal cancer.
• Colorectal cancer is the second most common
cause of cancer death in the U.S.
• Research suggests that one-quarter to onethird of colorectal cancers could be prevented
by changing diet and lifestyle.
• Frequent bean consumption has been
associated with reduced risk of developing
colorectal cancer.

Beans & Cancer Prevention
American Cancer Society Guidelines
1. Consume more fruits and vegetables (including
beans).
–
U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend consuming 4 ½ cups
of fruits and vegetable daily.
2. Consuming high fiber foods like beans is associated
with a lower risk of diverticulitis, a condition that
may increase risk of colon cancer
3. Choose sources of plant-based protein like beans
instead of red meat and processed meat products.
Chapter 4:
Beans & Family Food Budgets
Beans are a great way to stretch
the family food budget.
Comparing Beans with the Average Retail Cost
of Animal-Based Protein Foods
(Updated January 19, 2012)
Food

Cost/Serving
Beans (cooked, dry)
½ cup
$0.12
Beans (canned, drained)

Chicken breast, boneless, skinless

products (January 19, 2012). Retrieved on January 28, 2012 from http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/MeatPriceSpreads/
Using beans in place of animal
sources of protein can help stretch the
family food budget.
• Assuming one pound of 90% lean
ground beef costs $3.99 and a one
pound bag of pinto beans costs
$1.49, if a family of four opted to
use beans in place of ground beef
once a week for a year, they could
save $130.
Chapter 5:
Beans & Kids
Beans can help improve the quality of
children’s diets in the U.S.
• The diets of children in the U.S. are high in
sodium and sugar-sweetened beverages and
low in fruits, vegetables, fiber, and lean
protein.
• Encouraging consumption of fruits and
vegetables (in place of more calorically dense
and lower nutrient foods) is a key factor in
the effort to reduce childhood obesity.

New U.S. school meal standards
emphasize beans and other legumes.
• In January 2012, the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) released
new guidelines for school meals.
• The new guidelines now include the mandate
for schools to offer K-12 students at least ½
cup of legumes such as beans each week.
Chapter 6:
Cooking with Beans
Beans are available in two forms in
U.S. supermarkets, canned and dry.
Cooking with beans in their dry form
requires four steps.

Sorting

Cooking
Step 1: Sorting the Beans
Step 2: Rinsing the Beans
Step 3: Soaking the Beans
But wait! Will I lose valuable nutrients if I
soak and rinse my beans before cooking?
Step 4: Cooking the Beans
What if I’d rather use canned
beans in my cooking?
Draining and rinsing canned beans
reduces sodium content by about 40%.
