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.
🧄 Garlic
- Crush garlic and let it sit 10 minutes before cooking to activate allicin.
- Add garlic near the end of cooking to prevent burning and bitterness.
- Roast a whole head at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes for sweet, mellow garlic.
Nutrition: Contains allicin with antimicrobial properties. Also provides manganese and vitamin B6.
Storage: Store whole bulbs in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Peeled cloves last 1 week refrigerated.
