Nutrition Tier Lists: Beans

While come may see them as just calories in a can, beans are one of the most foundational foods on Earth, with some cultures having records of harvested them for the tens of thousands of years. Beans are a deceptively critical part of a balanced nutritious diet around the world and are finally getting their time in the spotlight. Time to rank them and find out which ones should be the base of your burrito bowls, and which ones really are just canned calories.

What I Would Change:
Yes, Lentils should have probably been on this list. While they are currently in my Seed Tier List, if they were on this list, I would have given them an A-Tier placement.
Also, Peas are in the Vegetable Tier List

All nutrient data is pulled from the USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

I believe you may have forgotten to mention that jellybeans have the lowest amount of tannins and oxalates requiring no soaking, as well as being very high in serotonin enhancing chemicals.

I caught myself cheering for a specific bean being placed higher on the tier list. Go Pinto Beans! GO!

[jasminerosewater]

These videos rock, especially as a vegan, it's great to know the EXACT reasons some of my staples are actually good for me. you're changing and saving lives.

[yieyito]

I used to eat jelly beans everyday until i saw this video! I never knew I had better options till today! Truly life changing thank you for making me aware!

[dylanmorrison]

I like the inclusion of jelly beans. Should've done coffee beans too!

[lucialamprey]

Lupini! Thanks for your tier lists. I appreciate them.

[shuamaral]

As a vegan in a country with a lot of bean dishes, I was really rooting and cheering for some beans to go high on the list. Fortunately, my favorites are all in the 2 highest ranks (except for Black Eyed Peas, that I love but are B tier). Great video!

[lauqhisup]

PLEASE do a oil and cooking fat tier list!

[asoliner]

You are literally the most useful content creator I have ever come across. Your fruits and vegetable tier lists made me get into the habbit of cooking and eating a lot healthier because I saw food that you ranked to be extremely healthy and realized that I actually really enjoy eating a lot of them. And your other video on how to fix bad posture from sitting a lot has also given me instant results. It was like YouTube sent you to fix some of the shortcomings that could be easily improved in my life. Keep up the good work!

Authentic baked beans, which use black strap molasses, are among the best things I've ever tasted. I cooked them once from scratch using great northerns. It took six hours to cook them at low temperature but so worth it. I think I'll do that again soon.

These videos are incredibly interesting. Through this you can also see how and why different cultures have specific health issues/benefits due to their diet. You truly are what you eat.

[LegendoftheAce]

Seeds would make a great list. Sunflower seeds were commonly snacked when I was a kid. I've always leaned more towards pumpkin seeds myself

[greedsin]

actually gotten to the point in my training where I need to treat my nutrition seriously
so you starting this series at the same time is a blessing thank you

[bendilla]

I love the sense of humor and education. Great work!

[ashtonv]

Dude... the jelly bean schtick with a straight face was hilarious! This vid is recommended!

[ChaconnesAreFunPlay]

I feel this should’ve just gone to being a full legume list and included lentils too.

[LydiAtheistLady]

Beans are my favorite food. This was very informative and useful for me! Thank you

[jamie]

I am so glad I watched this video. I'm a vegetarian and this opened by eyes to some beans I'd never heard of, as well as a more clear understanding of how I can get more of the nutrients that are harder to come by in plants (Not just protein. I promise I get enough protein). Also, I appreciate the Lector reference and other jokes:)

[AragarVarnus]

You even took the time to write their names in the conclusion portion.
First time I interact almost directly with a content creator and the person takes my suggestion seriously, thank you very much, sir! :'D

[donovansadventures]

Loved how you included the name of each bean under the picture. Super helpful. Would be awesome if you could make that adjustment in your prior videos.
