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. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

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. Janet |

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. |
