About GREAT NORTHERN BEANS
Kroger Great Northern Beans are canned, fully cooked white beans from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger private-label brand, packed with calcium chloride as a firming agent. This formulation prioritizes bean texture integrity over cost minimization.
Ingredients: prepared Great Northern beans, water, salt, and calcium chloride (listed as firming agent). Calcium chloride is a food-grade mineral salt that cross-links pectin in the bean cell walls, maintaining firmer texture during the high-heat retort canning process and throughout storage. This results in beans that retain their shape better than those without calcium chloride, making them preferable for salad applications and dishes where whole, firm beans are desired. The absence of EDTA (present in other Kroger canned bean entries) means this formulation has a simpler additive profile.
A 125-gram serving (slightly smaller than the 130g serving in related entries) provides approximately 110 calories, 5.6 grams protein, 16 grams carbohydrates, zero fat, and 4.8 grams dietary fiber. The slightly higher per-serving values compared to the EDTA-containing 130g version partly reflect the different serving sizes.
Sodium content is present from the salt addition; rinsing the canned beans before use can reduce sodium by approximately 40 percent. No allergens from the major U.S. categories. Vegan and gluten-free. Calcium chloride also contributes a minor amount of dietary calcium, though at the concentrations used as a food additive the contribution to daily calcium intake is not significant.
