A survey by HAK in the Netherlands reveals that only 33% of the population considers legumes, such as brown beans, lentils, and kidney beans, as suitable meat substitutes. Despite this, the regular replacement of meat with beans can help families save hundreds of euros annually and reduce CO2 emissions. The 'Boonus calculator' developed by HAK calculates these cost savings and CO2 emissions reduction.
