Cooking Tips

๐Ÿซ˜ Beans

  • Soak dried beans overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
  • Don't add salt until the last 10 minutes โ€” it can toughen the skins.
  • Canned beans are perfectly fine โ€” 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.

๐Ÿ… Tomatoes

  • Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature for best flavor โ€” never in the fridge.
  • Add a pinch of sugar to tomato sauce to balance acidity.
  • Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to easily peel the skin.

Nutrition: Excellent source of lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium. One medium tomato has 22 calories.

Storage: Keep unripe tomatoes on the counter. Use ripe tomatoes within 5 days.
