My mother started her baked beans by buying canned baked beans and washing all of the flavor off, only to reintroduce half of the same ingredients that she just washed away. I never argued with her because her beans were amazing, but I start with plain red beans as it gives a fresh and less-processed taste. This is a favorite meal of both of my children and an easy source of dietary fiber (66% RDA), calcium (12% RDA per one cup serving), which may be missing from a day at the pool, and iron (29%).
