Certainly, that's the point; when I buy canned beans I am going to use
them in a recipe and that applies to the full range, garbanzos,
especially. You can make your own "baked beans" with beans like kidney,
black, and cannellini beans. I don't know what variety Heinz uses but it
might be kidney beans. Canned vegetables are quite often inferior to
those used from scratch but beans are an exception, IMHO.

Yes, I have used them. I love them in a salad. They have a nice kidney
bean taste, but not so much in your face. I don't care for the texture of
garbanzos. I like salads with texture. You can do a regular tossed salad
or add a nippy Italian cheese and some olives and the white kidney beans
have enough presence to be a part of that.

I have read that canellini are a white kidney bean, but I don't know that.
If so, then yes, it's my most commonly used bean here in Italy where the
beans are different but very important. I never make them non-beany as I
think baked beans are. My mother was famous for her homemade baked beans
and I never liked them.
