Calorie content of canned foods. Canned beans calories. Use in cooking

Canned peas are one of the most popular canned vegetables, which are often used in cooking for preparing all kinds of dishes. It is used to cook soups, make various salads and seasonings, and is also used in its natural form as a simple side dish. Thanks to the rich complex of useful substances, the value of this product is undeniable. Nevertheless, experts are often interested in the calorie content of canned green peas. It is worth understanding this indicator in more detail.

Calorie content of peas

Peas are the oldest crop that humanity knew about back in the 4th century BC. Its fruits are a fairly valuable food product, containing a huge amount of vegetable protein. In addition, it contains many vitamins, minerals and various beneficial acids. The energy value of such a product is a little more than 80 kilocalories.

For a long time, the only way to harvest peas was drying. Later, people learned to preserve it.

The Dutch were the first to do this in the 16th century. Today, canned peas can be found in any grocery store.

Many people have a question: what is the difference between products that have undergone these types of processing? The most important difference is that the calorie content of canned green peas is several times lower than that of dried ones. There may be two reasons for this. Firstly, removing moisture increases the concentration of basic elements in it (fats, proteins and carbohydrates), which determine its energy value. By the way, the calorie content of dried peas is about 300 kilocalories. Secondly, exclusively young grains of special varieties are used for preservation. Moreover, their processing is carried out precisely when fresh fruits reach the so-called stage of milk maturity. Nevertheless, there are quite a lot of vitamins and sugars. The calorie content of canned green peas is only 55 kilocalories. This is much less than that of a natural or dried product.

Practical use

For proper nutrition, as is known, it is necessary to take into account not only the quantity, compatibility, but also the nutritional value of each individual product. The low calorie content of canned green peas allows them to be used as a main component in various diets. This product is useful for those who care about their figure or want to lose weight. The fact is that you can safely eat the fruits of legumes without fear of gaining extra pounds.

In addition, peas help cleanse the body, removing unnecessary toxins and various harmful substances from it. By the way, the pea diet is the simplest. It does not contain a strict list of products indicating the amount of their consumption. It is necessary to include at least one dish made from peas in your menu every day. The main thing is that the remaining components in it are not high-calorie. By the way, this could be a few spoons of canned peas as a side dish. The main disadvantage of such a diet is the unpleasant side effects in the form of flatulence. But this problem is not so global.

Calorie calculation

Many people like canned green peas. The calorie content per 100 grams of the finished product is 53-55 kilocalories. And here we mean the edible part of it, excluding liquid. This is the number that is usually indicated on the labels. After all, peas are sold in containers of different sizes. The energy value of the entire package can be calculated independently by drawing up a simple proportion. But as a rule, this is not necessary. Most often, the caloric content of a unit of product is needed to calculate the energy value of the finished dish.

For example, to prepare an omelet with green peas you will need the following products:

2 eggs, 200 grams of canned peas, 50 milliliters of milk and 2 grams of table salt.

As a result of culinary processing, the finished omelet will have the following characteristics:

Having this calculation before your eyes, you can decide how much food to use to prepare a given dish so that its consumption does not have undesirable negative consequences.

Official standard

Since the times of the USSR, there has been a certain GOST for any food products produced in the country. “Canned green peas” is a product that meets certain requirements.

Until recently, GOST 15842-90 still existed for it. It represented the technical conditions for the production of food pea products for export and the needs of the national economy. This document detailed the following indicators:

  • characteristics of the raw materials used;
  • rules for packaging, labeling and acceptance of finished products;
  • description of testing methods for basic quality indicators;
  • conditions of transportation and storage.

After the collapse of the Union in Russia, many documents were revised. Over time, a new national standard of the Russian Federation was introduced: GOST R 54050-2010 entitled “Natural canned food. Green peas". Today, this document is the main one for determining the compliance of a given type of product with the standards established in the state.

Product benefits

It's no secret that it is proteins, fats and carbohydrates that are responsible for the calories in canned green peas. When they decay, energy is formed that is transferred to the body to maintain its vital functions. Despite the small value of this indicator, canned peas are considered a fairly healthy product.

For example, the selenium it contains is an excellent anticarcinogen, and vitamin PP has a positive effect on the human cardiovascular system. In addition, canned peas contain a lot of starch and dietary fiber, which are practically not digested. Due to these components, you can use peas to get rid of constipation and solve many other problems associated with digestion. Don't forget about fiber too. It not only removes harmful waste and toxins from the body. With its help, you can improve the functioning of the entire gastrointestinal tract, as well as normalize cholesterol levels. In addition, frequent consumption of such peas strengthens bone tissue and improves immunity. It also improves blood circulation, resulting in increased mental activity in a person. This is just a small part of the benefits that a seemingly simple and unremarkable product brings to the human body.

Possible harm

To properly plan your diet, you need to know not only how many calories are in canned green peas. It must be remembered that this product, like many others, has in addition to positive aspects also negative aspects. For example, it is strictly contraindicated for people prone to flatulence and suffering from colitis. This can not only create some discomfort, but also lead to quite serious consequences.

In addition, those who have been diagnosed with urolithiasis by doctors should avoid eating peas. Being a strong diuretic, this product can easily provoke spontaneous movement of sand and cause severe renal colic. In principle, canned peas can no longer threaten the human body. The danger will only arise if the product is stale.

It is also necessary to carefully study the composition of the product, which is usually indicated on the label. It is advisable that it does not contain any additives or preservatives that are harmful to health.

Greetings! If there was a topic, please provide a link. alas, I didn’t find it myself.
Here’s a question: for example, on a can of beans it says: calorie content 112.2 kcal. net weight - 420 gr. bean weight - at least 275g.
so how to count? Calorie content is indicated for everything that is in the jar (beans, tomato paste, sugar) for the entire net weight? that is, it turns out 112.2 x 420 / 100 = 471.24 kcal?
or should we only take into account the net weight of the beans: 112.2 x 275 / 100 = 308.55 cal????
the difference is noticeable.
Next is the stew. the calorie content is indicated and that the percentage of meat and fat is according to state regulations.
that is the main question! is the calorie content on the can indicated for the entire net weight or for the weight of the pure product?????
Well, and about cereals. for example buckwheat. calorie content 355 kcal/100 g. Do I understand correctly that you mean a dry product? to get these 355 kcal you need to cook 100 grams of buckwheat and you will get about 200 grams of boiled buckwheat as a result?

Makc k-113 03-02-2010 10:52

Calorie content is generally a very indirect indicator of nutritional value. The calorie content of a birch log, if you measure it in a standard way, will turn out to be quite large, but you’ll only end up eating sawdust, even if you gnaw the whole log.

YuriB 03-02-2010 10:55

The calorie content of gasoline is even higher

We are quietly sliding into spherical canned food in a vacuum, gentlemen. Honestly, take my word for it, when you lose twenty kilograms from hunger, when you become so weak that you can hardly walk, when in the conditions of BP you begin to put snares on pigeons, or rather, throw bricks at them (for snares are a thing of a great mind), then the question of the calorie content of canned food will be the last thing on your mind.
As for the not so pessimistic forecast, it is better to cook canned food - eat it in the form of soup. 0.5 kg of canned food is enough for five liters of soup.

Exiled_Craft_Ru_56 03-02-2010 12:14

SW, can you post a photo of the label?

fugitive 03-02-2010 12:15

S.W.
Conventionally, consider the calorie content per 100 grams of the entire contents of the jar - beans, sauce, water, and even dye with nitrates.
Well, the convention of such a “calculus” is garbage. At least it gives at least an order of magnitude, 99.9 percent of the estimated needs are sufficient.

Berlogiy 03-02-2010 12:58

It is worth paying attention not to the calorie content of the product, in this case stew, but to its nutritional value, i.e. for the content of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, because 100 ml of vodka, with a calorie content of ~115-117 kcal, is hardly more satisfying than 100 grams of canned beans. PMSM.

each box showed one polar explorer (or extreme traveler, if you like). went skiing through the plus. ate a certain concentrate that looked like yellow balls. 5000 calories per serving. the participant said that he switched to “this” gradually, because it was physically impossible to eat “this” IMMEDIATELY.

spgr 03-02-2010 20:01

Calculate net weight and multiply by calorie content. Although the calorie content of a particular batch, a particular package comes with some error. There are also unscrupulous manufacturers who indicate lower calorie content in all kinds of cottage cheese, yogurt, juices and other “diet” products.

Cereals, pasta, flour - calorie content is given for dry food.

beans in tomato sauce go cold (both in pure form and with tuna), but warmed up it’s better, especially with the right stew

damn... I asked a very specific question. how to calculate if different data are given. Well, why the hell was it to slide into spherical horses and the calorie content of a birch log???
Thanks to everyone who answered the question!!!
calorie content is needed to roughly estimate food supplies in the house and for outings. It is clear that the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates must also be taken into account. but that's another question.
Beans go great in soup, for example. a little potato, if you have it, half a can of stew and a can of beans. or, for example, it can be perfectly fried with spices. cold doesn't go so well.
here is a photo with the data.

Thanks and my apologies for being a little off topic

“As you know, 1 calorie is the amount of energy spent on heating 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Thus, if you drink a liter of cold beer, temperature 4 degrees Celsius, then your body will spend the following amount to warm it up to body temperature energy: 1000 grams X (37C-4C) = 1000 X 33 = 33000 calories If you consider that the energy value of a liter of beer itself is about 10000 calories, then you get 23 thousand calories of pure weight loss, which is equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging.
Therefore, drink more cold beer to lose weight."

so the one who advises using canned food in the form of hot soup is right

spgr 05-02-2010 01:06

Sorry for being off-topic, but one small correction: “the energy value of a liter of beer itself is about 10,000 calories.” 10,000 calories is 10 kcal (kilocalories) in which the energy capacity is indicated on food labels, that is, it turns out 1 kcal in 100 g of beer.

What cannot be, we have come to a contradiction, which means the original statement is not true

Verda Stelo 05-02-2010 01:38

As for beans in sauce, then

quote: calorie content is indicated for everything that is in the jar (beans, tomato paste, sugar)
Exactly.
As for buckwheat - if the calorie content is indicated on a bag of dry buckwheat, then this applies to 100 g of dry buckwheat. If this is a can of canned food “buckwheat with meat” from the “tourist’s breakfast” series (i.e. the can already contains boiled buckwheat), then the can shows the calorie content of boiled buckwheat along with meat, water, spices, etc.
It’s similar for stewed meat - when they measure the calorie content, they open the can, take out all its contents and, to put it simply, burn it, while measuring the amount of energy released.

As already mentioned, calorie content is a very conditional indicator, since it only indicates the amount of energy released during complete oxidation, while completely different processes take place in the body. The TOTAL amount of energy contained in any product is the same and is calculated according to the famous Einstein formula E=mc^2 (this is in Joules if). But the benefit from this figure is exactly the same as from the usual calorie content - your body will not extract this energy from food.
It more or less makes sense to look at the calorie content of carbohydrates - they actually oxidize in the body, as far as I know. The calorie content of stew (as well as other protein products) is not particularly important. In particular, if you take two stews - one with a lot of meat, and the other with fat and all sorts of jelly, the calorie content of the second may be even higher than that of the first (due to fat). And the nutritional value is different.

Palitch 05-02-2010 02:44

Come up with a brand yourself. Something about dietary cannibalism. It already happened with Yu. Kozlov. There's really some homeless people there

spgr 05-02-2010 03:00

It’s wrong about the caloric content conditionality. The digestibility of fats, like carbohydrates, with normal metabolism is quite close to 100%. Even if digestibility fluctuates within 10%, the calorie content will still be a fairly indicative value.

S.W. 26-02-2010 11:01

I'll raise the topic.
here’s another mystery... let’s assume that the calorie content of a product is still an indicative value. We won’t talk about nutritional value, the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates here. this will begin to affect you over a long period of time.
so here it is. we have two almost identical banks:
- “Eggplant caviar” N&M Bulgaria: composition: eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, sunflower oil, spices and seasonings 420g. proteins 2.23, fats 9.33, carbohydrates 9.6, CALORIES 376 Kcal/100 g. (hmm. comparable to the calorie content of pork stew)
- “Zucchini caviar” ECO 360 gr: ingredients: zucchini, carrots, onions, vegetable oil, tomato paste, salt, sugar, spices. proteins 1 g, fats 7 g, carbohydrates 7 g. CALORIES 97 Kcal/100 g.

the food in the first can is almost 4 times more caloric than the food in the second can, although the composition is approximately the same. taste very similar (and quite tasty).
so what is the dog buried in here????? maybe there is more oil in the first one????

Once again, no need to talk about proteins and carbohydrates!!! I consider the question raised here as PART OF THE QUESTION of preparing a diet for a more or less long term, which includes stew, and cereals, and chocolate, and canned fish, and cereals, and VEGETABLES! I'm trying to create a balanced diet for two people. This is where proteins, fats and carbohydrates are taken into account. their ratio. and the ratio of animal and plant proteins too!!!
so THIS is just part of the diet that I add to my daily calorie intake

I'll probably have to conduct an inhumane experiment on myself. eat canned food from one manufacturer for three days, then after rest, eat canned food from another manufacturer for 3 days. select their quantity according to calorie content and look at the result))))

spgr 26-02-2010 11:33

1g protein or carbohydrates = 4.1Kcal, 1g fat = 9.3Kcal. You can count 4Kcal and 9Kcal, the error is only a couple of percent. That is:

"Zucchini caviar" proteins 1 g, fats 7 g, carbohydrates 7 g
1*4 + 7*9 +7*4 = 95Kcal/100g Since the values ​​were rounded, the result is slightly less, but it doesn’t change the essence, if you count accurately, it will be the same 97Kcal that is on the label.

"Eggplant caviar" N&M Bulgaria: proteins 2.23, fats 9.33, carbohydrates 9.6
2.23*4 + 9.33*9 + 9.6*4 = 131Kcal if you count accurately it will be 135Kcal.

It is not clear where the value 376 came from; there may be an error in translation from Bulgarian. It's a long time ago for 280g of product, not 100g. Perhaps the producers did something wrong during the translation. But you yourself correctly answered that the caloric content of caviar should not be so unrealistically high, it is not there, the real caloric content (which, in fact, the manufacturer indicated by publishing the fat, protein and carbohydrate content of about 135 Kcal per 100g.

Product Features

Many experts consider canning beans to be one of the most reliable and effective ways to store them. During the production process, the beans are boiled and sealed in a metal or glass jar with a special syrup, which ideally consists of water, salt and sugar. According to the state standard, acetic acid may be found with them, but in fact today you can find other preservatives and food additives. Such products are usually sold under the specifications label, and the benefits and harms from their use are unpredictable. In any case, before cooking, the liquid from the jar must be poured out and the beans must be thoroughly washed under running water.


The advantage of beans produced “in glass” is obvious - the buyer can evaluate not only the information provided by the manufacturer, but also the appearance of the product. However, this packaging format is very rare in our country. All varieties of beans can be preserved, but in Russia and the CIS only white and red ones are found. The size of the fruit, according to GOST, should be 6-10 mm. This rule is important because the beans are cooked for a certain amount of time during production. If the raw material is too large in size, it will not be reliably processed - toxins will remain in the pulp. Such food does more harm than good. Peas that are too small cannot be used either, because they will boil and mix with the syrup.

Composition and beneficial properties

The calorie content and nutritional value of canned beans is not much different from those that we can cook ourselves at home. This is due to the fact that in both cases many harmful elements are digested from it. Raw beans are literally saturated with nitrates and heavy metals, so eating them in this form is dangerous. The content of proteins and carbohydrates is reduced by 3 times, and along with them the calorie content becomes just as much lower - from 299 kcal to 99 kcal per 100 grams.


Despite such losses, beans remain very nutritious, their vitamin and mineral composition still looks impressive in comparison with other products:

  • white beans retain 4.3 g, and red beans - 6.4 g of fiber per 100 g, which is 21% and 32% of the daily value;
  • minimal proportion of fat - only 0.36 g per 100 grams;
  • high content of iron, potassium, sodium, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium and selenium;
  • vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, etc.

For the human body, canned beans are a valuable source of energy and carbohydrates, called the main building material of the body. This is a very important product for a healthy diet and weight loss, and high calorie content in this case is not at all the enemy, because it is based not on the fat component, but on the protein-carbohydrate component. It provides quick saturation with a small amount of food.

The great benefits for digestion are due to the high content of dietary fiber. As they pass through the intestines, they remove food debris and other waste products, and also perform a gentle massage of the walls. The result is improved blood circulation and absorption. By stimulating intestinal motor functions, canned beans help cope with chronic constipation.


The benefit of this canned legume also lies in a large amount of B vitamins. The condition of the skin, tissues, hair, teeth, and nails depends on their presence in the body. Some of them are antioxidants involved in cancer prevention. To one degree or another, B vitamins are necessary for the proper functioning of the endocrine, circulatory, digestive, nervous systems, and normal metabolism.

The rejuvenating effect of eating beans is enhanced by vitamin E, which acts in combination with antioxidants and other vitamins. It is also an important element for preventing infertility in women.

Beans well stimulate carbohydrate and protein metabolism, due to which cells and tissues are enriched with useful substances. This product is of great benefit for overweight people and the elderly - it not only allows you to feel full with a small amount of food, but also helps remove cholesterol from the blood. And many antioxidants, such as zinc, tocopherol and others, prevent the development of cancer tumors.

Canned white beans are valued for their high sodium content, one of the key elements necessary to maintain water-salt balance. In combination with chlorine, it prevents blood from leaking from blood vessels into tissues. Sodium deficiency is one of the reasons for weakening muscle activity.

Iron and potassium, the content of which in beans also exceeds that in many other products, is needed to maintain the health of the circulatory system. The first affects the composition of the blood and is involved in improving the functioning of the heart, and the second is necessary to maintain the strength and elasticity of blood vessels - the load on the heart and rhythm depend on this.

Restrictions

Eating canned beans can bring not only enormous benefits, but also harm if done without taking into account contraindications:

  1. For gastritis, inflammation of the digestive organs, peptic ulcers, gout, exacerbation of liver and gall bladder problems, beans should be eaten with caution. Although it has healing properties in this area, it can become too much of a burden. A specialized doctor will best help you decide on the possibility of use and quantity.
  2. Canned beans should be introduced into children's diets gradually so as not to overload the intestines. The same applies to older people with problems with digestive motility and obstruction.
  3. Doctors discourage women from eating canned beans during pregnancy and lactation. They attribute this precaution to the fact that growing and preservation conditions do not always meet standards and eating them is risky. Under normal conditions, you can try the product in small portions, observing the body’s reaction, but when carrying a fetus, it is better not to take risks.

Beans may not be to blame for poisoning or worsening a person’s condition if they were cooked incorrectly. Therefore, the choice of products purchased is of great importance:

  1. Give preference to beans in glass containers. They may be more expensive, but the ability to externally assess their integrity and size is worth it.
  2. Check the production date and expiration date. Please note that the presence of tomato paste in the product reduces the second parameter.
  3. The syrup in which the beans are dipped may be cloudy but smooth. Sediment at the bottom of the container is a sign of low-quality products.
  4. Do not buy metal cans with a bulging lid or bottom - this is a clear sign that the beans have gone bad.
  5. An open can of canned beans should be stored for no more than 3 days in a cool place or refrigerator.
