White beans (canned drained)

White beans is a broad term covering several varieties of pale, mild-flavoured legumes, such as cannellini, navy, and haricot beans, all with a creamy texture once cooked. They are used in soups, stews, and salads, and dried beans require soaking before an extended simmer, while canned beans are ready to use after rinsing. Different white bean varieties vary somewhat in size and firmness.

Once drained of its canning liquid, this ingredient weighs less per cup than it does undrained, though usually more than the dried, unsoaked form.
