Nutritional values

The fiber and vegetable protein from these Jamaican beans with rice keep you full for a long time. Especially well represented is also vitamin B1, which is important for a healthy energy metabolism.

No time to soak the beans? Then take kidneys from the can (400 grams instead of 175 grams of dried beans). They provide the body with almost as many nutrients as the dried beans.
