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.
🌶️ Chili Peppers
- Remove seeds and ribs for less heat — that's where the capsaicin lives.
- Wear gloves when handling hot chilies to avoid burning your skin.
- Toast dried chilies in a dry pan for deeper, smokier flavor.
Nutrition: Extremely high in vitamin C. Capsaicin may boost metabolism and reduce pain.
Storage: Refrigerate fresh chilies for 1-2 weeks. Dry chilies last 1 year.
