Walmart has better quality pinto beans for $0.92 that has a third of the sodium and more fiber. They also frequently are available in store for $0.69 or lower Recommend that over this.

How does one brand of beans have more fiber than another? Is that a thing? Honest question.

My guess is math rounding. Both show 110 calories per serving, for the same can weight. The Amazon one shows no fat, 5 grams fiber, 7 grams of protein. The Wal-Mart brands shows 6 grams of fiber and protein, and 1/2 gram of fat. That could be within the variation of different cultivars (selections within the same species), but from my understanding pinto beans pretty much sold as a single type of commodity, so are farmer or wholesaler in that area.would be needed for confirmation.
Now the salt, that's a good criteria to choose. Not only for the health reasons, but also for the fact once they are cooked in enough salt, beans stop softening. So you should almost always add salt last to a bean dish.

Interesting .Nearby Walmart $1.00 a can with 130mg of salt compare to Goya 340mg

When I'm eating these in my bomb shelter I won't Mind the nutrition facts
Waste of pantry space. A nickel's worth of beans. Flavor and texture destroyed by processing. The perfect recipe to convert healthy food to a health hazard. The shelf life of dry beans is far longer. Instant pot made canned beans obsolete over a decade ago.

"Obsolete" Funny because there are entire aisles devoted to canned beans on supermarket shelves.

How to can Red Herring and learn to love the Bomb practice session: "Funny, everything I buy is canned or boxed from the center isles, I avoid the produce isle like the plague" "Funny, I never heard of Instant Pot" "Funny, I can't ever remember to add water to the beans" "Funny, I love tasteless beans bathed in salt solution and forever chemicals"

The produce section is always my first stop. And I do make my own beans.

Definitely not a nickel. I don't know where you're buying your dry beans at? 1 pound dry beans cooked is about 4 cans worth.
Now based on the common cost of $1/pound, that makes these cans worth 25 cents.
I know unless I'm planning to make a meal for 5+ people, I usually end up using canned. The extra hour to 90 minutes is simply not worth the cost savings. It's a huge hassle if I'm only making 2 cans worth of beans or less.
As for shelf life of canned goods? Arguably it's eternity.

Thank you, your comment leaves me amused 'amused'. Losing playtime with your panther standing over a hot stove is no way to live. Imagine discovering Instant Pot and playing with Kitty while they cook. 6 to 10 minutes is all it takes for soaked pintos. Sure, it deprives you the culinary joy of chemically soaked flavorless canned beans and the satisfaction one gets by filling the trash bin with cans but that's the way the feta crumbles.

Solid take tbh. It's just a tad too harsh for the average modern mind to accept. You are 100 correct about soaking, pressure cooking dried beans. Cheaper, healthier, still easy.
Selfishly, I for one wish you would post more truth, harshly, so I can get the giggles.
