Summary

This product contains organic pinto beans, which are a nutritious source of plant-based protein and fiber, and sea salt, which is a minimally processed source of sodium. However, the presence of calcium chloride as a firming agent and the processing level of the product contribute to its classification as ultra-processed, which limits its health score despite the beneficial ingredients.
