Mushy peas and beans are NOT superfree foods!
on my list they have ss by them i thought that was super free too?
No, that's superspeedy!
The superfree stuff is in orange on pp. 9-12. It has 'superfree' in the top corner.
Superspeedy (SS) (and Speedy (S) ) mean that eating them will result in a faster weight loss as they are more filling or have less calories for their mass - so they *include* (most) superfree stuff but things like beans and peas are also superspeedy because they are very filling for the amount of calories in them (compared to, say, a chocolate bar which has loads of calories but doesnt fill you up at all).
Beans and peas are free (as you are on Green) and superspeedy (as they are very filling) - but they still have quite a lot of calories in them so are only Free, not Superfree. They dont count as part of your 1/3 plate superfree if you were following EE. Even on Green whilst not as strict as EE regarding the 1/3 superfree portion, you should still be aiming for Superfree to snack on and pad meals out at least a bit. Superfree have hardly any calories so you really can eat for England on them without putting an ounce ion - but beans etc still have quite a lot of calories and should only be eaten in moderation (until you're full - not until you're stuffed).
Read the meaning of the symbols on p. 7.
If you look at the supefree foods you'll see many are SS, some are S and some are not speedy at all eg watermelon, bananas, mango, artichokes - as they have quite a lot of calories compared to other fruits/vegetables.
Superfree is almost any fruit or vegetable except potatoes, yams, parsnips, avocado. (Beans, peas and sweetcorn are not vegetables).

To be fair, the person that first mentioned this (farmer me) did suggest that she eat more superSPEED food such as mushy peas, beans, melon etc. The peas and the beans are superSPEED, but you are right, they are NOT superFREE. The melon that was mentioned as an example as well though is both superFREE and superSPEED.
