Five Dry Beans That Should Always Be In Your Pantry

[@kyndalburton8203]

I have to admit lentils have a very special place in my heart

[@ryanaumann]

Agree. I just recently tried them and never knew what I was missing.

[@valerietomsic8454]

I have always loved lentils...I especially appreciate that they DON'T have to be soaked before you cook them! But I love chickpeas and black beans too!

[@smallfootprint2961]

High in great vegi protein, Jeff Novick talks about leaving a can of beans, or some homemade, open in the fridge, and adding a couple tablespoons full to a meal to give it a boost. Since then I have beans with almost every meal. My fave lentil has become the French Lentil. Tasty, and holds it's shape. You have inspired me to cook lentils, or green/yellow peas with my brown rice, along with some dried soup vegs. A blaster of sorts. Basically lazy cooking. Great with salad fixins as a side or wilted right in. Love this video. So much fear out there about anything that contains carbs. All vegi foods have some level of fats, proteins, and carbs. Beans are strong on proteins. Nice to know.

[@ironrose888]

Learning how to cook and use beans is absolutely essential to the plant based lifestyle. Without legumes, you don’t feel like you’re getting enough protein and you are more likely to “cheat” on the diet. I like to purée a can of beans in the blender and add them to my soups. It makes the soup creamy too. Eat a small amount of beans every day and your body will adjust and you won’t be so gassy.

[@WellYourWorld]

That is a wonderful idea, Anne!

[@fsjeep611]

I love Mayocoba Beans. They are so Creamy and wonderful. I make unfried beans with them and they are wonderful. After you eat them you will never want pinto's for unfried beans again.

[@ridwanaisla8183]

Obsessed with black beans, brown rice with fresh arugula and spinach in a habernero sauce.

[@ridwanaisla8183]

@@MsPants1632 yes! I keep eating it everyday, going through boxes of organic arugula and spinach, it’s staple now like oatmeal. I love this way of eating! There’s an oil-free habernero sauce at Whole Foods with carrots, a few drops go a long way. I throw in a few tiny bits of actual habernero too for the fragrance.

[@Shiva-gf9bo]

This is a great share. Beans are high in protein. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy.

[@irinagonzalez5703]

Thank you for sharing. For me, # 1 is kidney beans. I put them every where

[@potsylvania]

I love to sprout lentils and just eat a handful out of the jar.. feels so healthy and complete. Try it. It's like a salad with this yummy nutty protein thing going on. Live food.

[@anitaknight8235]

This was a great video. Reminded me I have 13 bean soup mix, dried veggies and veggie powder in the pantry. Perfect for a slow cooker meal tonight.

[@mariakrehel1724]

Love my beans!!

[@SherryEllesson]

I love having beans in/on almost everything. There's always a batch of some kind "in the works" in my kitchen. Just recently got some soy curls and looking forward to experimenting with them. I'd add white/navy beans to the must-haves for bean paste, which can be used in place of mayo on sandwiches.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Do you have a recipe? Thanks.

[@smallfootprint2961]

For the bean paste, that is... just read this and said, "for what?" thot I'd better clarify. The bean paste instead of mayo sounds fab.

[@SherryEllesson]

@@smallfootprint2961 soak beans 8-12 hrs, cook until soft, mash with an immersion blender and add favorite seasonings. I use onion & garlic powders, a bit of celery salt, sometimes chili powder, Italian blend - whatever your favorites are! enjoy

[@jeridubin6931]

Thank you for the bean paste recipe!

[@janettackett7659]

Love love love me some beans!

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

Garbanzos Lentils, green or brown Red lentils Green split peas (or yellow) Black & pinto beans Bonus #1 - Butler soy curls Bonus #2 - bean soup mix

[@karlamarx5954]

lentils are my FAVPORITE bean. that natural peppery flavor...yummy 😋🌿

[@urs-]

Thanks for the video! I love beans 💕🤙🏼💕

[@ima7333]

That mix bean soup is a staple in my house. When i go plant based, i simply go back to basic and use them more often. Healthy eating is not only good for our body, it’s also good on our wallet. You got no idea how much money i save for no longer buying oil, cheese, meat & eggs. They’re pricey and not so good for the body.

[@Amanda-jb3ys]

Love soy curls! Thank you for the video. 🌱

[@GardenJensJourney]

Great video !!! I love cooking beans in my insta pot. I try to remember to soak my beans if possible, to get rid of the phytic acid. Helps them be digested easier also. But if you forget, they still cook fine. Great tip on the soy curls!! I will try that.

[@gillianmuspic2337]

I heard that adding a couple of bay leaves helps with the phytic acid

[@emmaDaugaardJensen]

Soy curls are a whole food, because they are boiled, presed and then dried. nothing is added kind of like oats, and that is why it's a whole food meat substitute, and not a procssed meat substitute - hope this helps ;-)

[@JRL03]

Thank you! 😊

[@andreawalker7138]

I really like your Essentials videos. I especially like that there are always bonus items. P.S. I like all of your videos 😁

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

Fabulous video one of my favorite foods! Thank you so much 😊

[@sircorkysriley4904]

so I am having lentil sloppy joes for dinner and just made a large chick pea salad

[@craftlover9702]

I would love to see you guys make a red lentil pizza. I've seen it on other sites but would love to see your version!

[@robz.3225]

Fun video kids!

[@setoma9054]

Where do you get your bulk beans?

[@leespaner]

Love you guys

[@richardhardy4243]

Split green peas for the win. I'll bet Dillon & Reebs can come with something more adventurous than split pea soup!

[@7peacefrog]

Thank you for this video I am just getting started and still learning I think the Soy Curls also look like tuna after you had it in the food processor Thank you

[@kyndalburton8203]

13 bean soup in the crock pot is also amazing!

[@johnzocco8791]

You guys are awesome! I’m curious about the dehydrated veggies you bought in Amazon. What’s the brand? Thanks. Cheers!

[@charlenewagoner9523]

I love beans!! Still haven’t tried the soy curls..

[@byusaranicole]

Same. I bought a couple packs, but haven't used them yet.

[@summa69]

Best way I Like them is to break them up partly and then let them rehydrate in a little broth for 10 min, then drain and squeeze dry. Throw them in the instant pot with my favorite barbecue sauce and a chopped onion and let them slow cook. So good!

[@thanhdang2546]

Hi Dylan, where do you buy red lentils cheaply. Thanks in advance.

[@WellYourWorld]

I buy them in bulk at WinCo!

[@thanhdang2546]

@@WellYourWorld Thanks. There is no Winco in Los Angeles. I probably have to hit the Indian market.

[@antheaphillips5679]

Mawwiage … is what bwings us together... today 😁 Also beans 😂

[@andreawalker7138]

😄 One of my favorite movies!

[@antheaphillips5679]

[@jamiesmiles8312]

Where do you buy your beans in 25 pound bags/tubs? Edit: Do you freeze them for a time before storing in the bucket?

[@allsquaredup9717]

Bingo! We have all those beans! Soy Curl fajitas for dinner tonight on Taco Tuesday.

[@flaccidacid6819]

lentils with that vegan cheese sauce you guys have on the channel are absurdly good

[@chrisf8766]

This style of video kinda reminds me of Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie on Whose Line is It Anyway.

[@WellYourWorld]

That’s funny!

[@Trytocookthis]

I'm a tater girl. I panic when I have no taters in house :(

[@michellebackus2515]

what about black eyed peas??? They're always in my bean pantry!

[@Walkinfaith12]

@ Michelle I was thinking the same thing Lol most people are not a fan

[@d.rabbitwhite]

I wish i had space to buy the 20/25 pound bags of beans, and the soy curls in bulk. I do buy 20 pounds of rice and keep them in a stainless airtight container and I have another of the same size that I have several cloth flour sacks of my beans and lentils, in. I have only about 600 sq feet and one of bedrooms is full of bikes camping stuff and bike trailers/gear, and costuming supply.

[@batman48195]

Just ordered soy curls.

[@zoelife58]

Are beans good for diabetics

[@billthorne1]

Butler soy curls are the whole soy bean pod crushed and dried with the beans inside. Gives you fiber up the wazoo!

[@jageo48]

Lentils sprout easily in 5 days.

[@patstalcup4205]

I wonder how the split peas would taste as a flat bread

[@lindahuntington7486]

I always thought Lentils and Pulses are interchangeable words.

[@valerieescabi6104]

Hi Reebs and Dillon ❤️❤️

[@WellYourWorld]

Hey Valerie!

[@deb_is_here1425]

Dillon & Reebs - What about Black Lentils?

[@SuperBookdragon]

Pulses is the term used in India and the middle east. .

[@juliepayn7696]

You guys are funny.

[@pamp3445]

I don't want to buy all types of beans. Love your many bean soup idea. Why don't you two put together a product that we can buy. Offer different sizes, like 1 pound, 5 pound, 10 pound. you get the idea.

[@valerieescabi6104]

Can I see the soybean one

[@nivujas]

What if u remove r it will be horrible.

[@KCorange]

And here I thought it was marriage.

[@Gngrcpl]

I tried to make chickpeas and they weee so hard and gross

[@WellYourWorld]

Be sure to soak overnight and then simmer until soft, takes a good while. Old beans can stay hard. Could be that?

[@Gngrcpl]

@@WellYourWorld I’m going to try again. I did soak them overnight and did medium simmer. Maybe I just need to try cooking them a little bit longer. I appreciate the response!

[@jageo48]

*Not a good idea to use a metal spoon in a hard plastic food processor. Triton is as bad as polycarbonate.*

[@summa69]

Dillon and Reebs - Thanks for the video. I have a question on your storage of soy curls. On the package it says since there are no preservatives, you should keep them in the fridge or freezer. I see you keep them in the pantry. So what is your take on that? So they last ok on the shelf? I would buy more but don’t have the freezer room.

[@Magnulus76]

There's nothing in soy curls that can go bad if they are left dry. It takes oil in a food for it to go rancid, and soy curls are made from defatted soy flour. That makes TVP and soy curls a really good food to stock up on, BTW.

[@summa69]

Thanks!
