Butter Beans
Butter beans are soft, creamy, and brilliantly filling. The canned versions are pure convenience—no soaking, no boiling, just open, drain, and go. They soak up flavour like a sponge and add satisfying substance to anything you’re cooking. Whether you’re barely functioning or feeling creative, they’ve got your back.
Why is it good for ADHD?
Butter beans are rich in plant-based protein, complex carbs, and fibre—all essentials of the ADHD diet. They’re also high in iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, which support brain health and help steady your blood sugar. Add in a healthy dose of gut-friendly fibre and you’ve got a legit superfood in a tin.
Different Types & Cuts
Canned Butter Beans: The ADHDishes go-to. Pre-cooked and ready in minutes.
Jarred Butter Beans: Often creamier and larger, especially in Spanish or Italian brands.
Avoid dried unless you love a project. We’re here for low-effort wins.
Buying Tips
- Look for cans with just beans, water, and maybe salt—no preservatives or mystery ingredients.
- Jarred versions are great for special meals or sides—they tend to be firmer and silkier.
- Stock up when they’re on offer; they have a long shelf life and are pantry lifesavers.
- Head to the world food aisle for cheaper tins that are just as good.
