Can you believe there actually is a 'Beans for Health Alliance'? Their mission is to unite bean enthusiasts and supporters of food-based health interventions around the world to promote the health benefits of beans and other pulses. - Serious stuff eh?
But then i read on...... Why are they wild about beans?
"Dry beans and other pulses are one of the most nutritionally-complete staple foods, inexpensive and widely available."
and well, what'd you know? they are!! and i agree with them!! Coz down at the Boscombe Wholefood Co-op you can get all sorts of beans and pulses and they are so cheap!!
Most beans you have to soak for a while, at least 8 hours or overnight!! And then boil them for ages....the best thing i ever got was a pressure cooker!!! Reduces cooking time to about 15 mins!!!
And a way to make them really tasty?.......try Chiman spices.
They do a really nice Lentil Dahl, Spicy Chickpeas and Bean Curry spice blends. Yummy!
