Tips for choosing canned beans in tomato

How to choose the right tasty canned beans in tomato sauce and get the most of the product's benefits and flavor? We often pose these questions to ourselves, and the agony of choice is complicated by the wide variety available in the supermarket. We decided to ease the pangs of choice and give sensible advice:

• Tin containers do not give us the opportunity to see the contents, no matter how we would like. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to assess the ratio of liquid and main product. To do this, turn the jar and shake it slightly. If gurgling sounds are clearly audible, it is better to put the goods in place: the manufacturer has clearly gone too far with the filling.
• The container itself should also look as presentable as possible: inspect the surface for dents and deformations. Otherwise, there is a risk of breaking the inner protective layer of the package and direct contact of the contents with metal.
• The composition of the product should be as short and understandable as possible: in the first place are the beans themselves, tomato paste, salt, sugar and spices. For density (and sometimes to reduce the cost), manufacturers can use starch. This is allowed by the standards established by the state, but it is recommended to give preference to canned food without thickeners.
• The ratio of the volume of the main product to the sauce is an important indicator of the manufacturer's conscientiousness. The higher the percentage of legumes, the better: the ideal is 60% or more of the total content.
• When opening a can, it is recommended to visually assess the quality of the product before direct use. The grains must be whole and uniform: cracks may indicate damage to the grain by agricultural pests. In consistency, the beans should be soft, but not boiled into porridge. The sauce should be neither too liquid nor too sweet, with a pleasant smell of tomatoes and spices.
