Cooking Tips
🫘 Beans
- Soak dried beans overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
- Don't add salt until the last 10 minutes — it can toughen the skins.
- Canned beans are perfectly fine — rinse them to reduce sodium by 40%.
Nutrition: High in fiber, plant protein, iron, and folate. One cup cooked has about 15g protein.
Storage: Dried beans last 1-2 years. Cooked beans keep 3-5 days refrigerated.
🫑 Bell Peppers
- Red bell peppers are the sweetest — they're just fully ripened green peppers.
- Roast peppers over an open flame or broiler for a smoky, silky texture.
- Cut peppers from the outside in to avoid the bitter white pith.
Nutrition: Extremely high in vitamin C — one red pepper has 169% of your daily value.
Storage: Refrigerate whole peppers for up to 2 weeks. Cut peppers last 3-5 days.
