3.1. TDF values for boiled and canned legumes
Fourteen legume samples (8 boiled, 6 canned) that are the most
commonly consumed in the UK were selected for TDF analysis. The
results are presented in Table 3 as grams of TDF per 100 g legume
(wet weight as eaten). The boiled legumes showed a range of TDF
values from 3.6% in green beans to 11.2% in red kidney beans, with
an overall mean TDF of 7.2%. The coefficient of variation (CV) for
