What to pick in Lidl

Most of what is sold as beans & lentils is not a protein food. Exactly one product clears 10g per 100 calories, and it sits at the top of the table — an exception, not a rule to shop by.

6 of the 34 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Beans & Lentils across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Lidl sells is the other half of the comparison.

Front-of-pack claims on this stuff rarely match the back, so scan it with the label checker.
