Re: Instead of Baked beans?

[Guest guest]

My wife fixed a garbonzo (chick pea) salad with a vinegrette and olives and

arugula. It was quite tasty. And if you wanted a sweeter version, you could

add some honey or artifical sweetener to the vinegrette and use ider vinegar

instead of white or wine vinegars.

Instead of Baked beans?

I understand that baked beans are not recommended for diabetics. But what

about refried beans or anything else along those lines? Any suggestions?

Hi Dave,

The baked bean thing would depend on how much sweetner (sugar, honey, etc)

was added to the recipe.

I suppose one could use Splenda or Stevia to make the baked beans taste the

requisite sweetness.

Maple syrup or molassis are often used to flavor the beans.

I'm not so sure we can't eat baked beans, it's just there are better beans.

I'm not sure which ones are best, but the key is to look for the highest

amount of fiber. Beans can be high in carbohydrates, so the higher fiber

content needs to be evaluated in comparison to the grams of carbohydrates.

Yes, you're right. I guess the beans used in baked beans are standard Navy

beans?

All of those beans are high in carbs. Baked beans are especially bad as

they have different kinds of sugar added to them. You can eat them, but in

small amounts.
