Cooking Tips
🍠 Sweet Potatoes
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes until fork tender for maximum sweetness.
- Cube and roast with cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup for a quick side.
- Sweet potatoes don't need to be peeled — the skin is nutritious and edible.
Nutrition: Extremely high in beta-carotene (vitamin A), fiber, and potassium.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks. Don't refrigerate raw.
🫘 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.
