Are all types of beans cheaper dry, compared to the same types in can?
For chickpeas and lentils, yes:
For chickpeas, a can of 240g (410g with the water) is €1; €4,16 per kilo. 500g of dry chickpeas is €1,50; €3 per kilo.
For lentils, a can of 265g (400g with water) is €1; €3,77 per kilo. 500g of dry lentils (red or green) is €1,-; €2 per kilo.
I haven't checked for other beans, since I pretty much only eat lentils, chickpeas and soy products for beans.
The confusion came from the dry beans I saw originally being organic; dry organic lentils are €4 per kilo.
We're still buying canned beans though, because we are way too lazy to go through the cooking process.
Unbelievably, the only soy beans I can find in supermarkets cost €11,37 per kilo. That's non-organic soybeans.

Nope, I don't even think there is a Dutch word for it. I could order it from the UK, but the shipping costs would make it too expensive for me to bother.
