fri. they replied really quick, here's the reply. I haven't found

kidney beans without sugar yet but HEB brand peas are just peas and

water - cool, store brand's usually cheaper too.

sucrose is added to bring the flavor back to its natural level of

sweetness.

Hee hee, thinkin' BS myself. seems to me adding sugar would insure a uniform

taste no matter the quality of the pea or bean. don't see what difference it

would make with kidney beans but have noticed variation in sweetness in home

grown peas. ( they still didn't need no stinkin' sugar ) LOL

small poem? rhyme about canned veggies

 

fresh is best,

dried 'll do,

canned 'll get by just drain and rinse 'em too!
