Cooking Tips
🥩 Pork
- Brine pork chops for 30 minutes in salt water to keep them juicy.
- Cook pork to 145°F (63°C) and rest for 3 minutes — no longer needs to be 160°F.
- Low-and-slow is the secret to tender pulled pork — 225°F for 8-10 hours.
Nutrition: Lean pork tenderloin has similar protein content to chicken breast with less fat.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 3-5 days for chops, 1-2 days for ground. Freeze for 4-6 months.
🫘 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.
