How to eat more beans |whole food plant based | oil free cooking | plant based recipes |

[@SunflowerLover63]

I am 64 years old and I’ve been plant-based since 2013. I ate meat, cheese and eggs and all the rest. I always felt crappy (I thought it was normal), but once I went Plant based, I felt tremendous! No more gut issues! No more pain! I feel better today than I did in my 20s!

[@richardholt4154]

Hey, happy to know I'm not the only on😅e. Thanks. Buen provecho!

[@marythexton8246]

Thank you for the video, just cooked my first batch of Mayocoba beans following your suggestion, absolutely delicious. Eating them right out of the pot. Placed another order for more bags plus a variety of other beans to try.

[@tucwebb]

Julia - I was never a fan of Lima beans either until I had stewed limas/butter beans. I was blown away! Sauté a mirepoix, add garlic and tomatoes (a can of diced, or your choice). Add veggie bouillon (I make the frozen via Kathy Hester), a tablespoon of tomato paste, herbs of choice (oregano, basil, etc) and a cup of water or broth. Simmer until you feel it is done. Can add a bay leaf if you want. It’s better the next day. Serve with rice or noodles or crusty whole grain bread, and enjoy.

Mayocoba beans are amazing!!! I do them in the Instant Pot all the time.

[@SpringFlowers537]

I love my Rancho Gordo bean club fan! Their beans are always fresh! I cook in my instant pot. Cook for half the time as store bought! I make a pesto with garbanzo or white beans, cashews or pine nuts and basil. I big pot of kidney, pinto or black beans cooked with herbs and aromatics for beans and rice. You can take the beans mash them and put it in a tortilla and air fry. Air fry or bake tortilla chips and make loaded nachos. We LOVE beans and yes we still have beans we need to use up, lol! I do like your system!

[@richardholt4154]

Trying to eat more beans now at 78. Grew up eating lots of purple hull peas, butter bean 15:08 s & greens. My initial efforts caused lots of indigestion. Learned about Low Fodmap to help ease back into the diet. I think many long time bean eaters forget the pain they cause. Once a day is a better start & I love beans! My daughter sends me some Rancho Gordo from time to time. Keeping beans separate from soups too add 1/2 cup as desired. Still eating some beef, pork & eggs to ease the change to more greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries & seeds.

When I was on a cruise to Denmark, Ireland and Scotland, every morning there were beans served for breakfast. Same thing in Nairobi and Kenya , Africa. I loved it!

Thanks for this video. It was helpful to rekindle my bean interest.

[@marieborland3764]

I have a couple more ideas of eating more beans/legumes. 1) make your own lentil bread (google it) 2) make your own Greek soy yogurt (again, google it) and there is actually a 3) strain the yogurt so it is like a soft cream cheese and spread it on your lentil bread topped with everything seasoning. Yum!

Thanks for this video, Julia. I love beans of all varieties and will often eat them straight out of the Instant Pot on their own but since I usually cook large batches, your freezing tips and recipes are very helpful. Condolences on the loss of your beloved dog.

[@gaylefailing7032]

I started eating more beans this year. I am not strict , thinking I have to eat 3 servings. But I do love beans and discovered rancho Gordon this past year. Love them! This week I’ve been eating butter beans. Our stores don’t have them though.

Chef Julia, Thanks for this comprehensive review of bean consumption in one video. Lots of great tips and suggestions. You should become a RG affiliate and offer a discount. You certainly have done your share of marketing for them in the WFPB space. I’ve appreciated hearing about all these varieties of beans. I now prep my beans the RG method that you have demonstrated. I’m sure you’ve already thought of this related to your stockpile of beans…..they would make good prizes at your WFPB potluck gatherings. Appreciate your show notes highlighting all your bean recipes on KZbin. Would love to see a summary video highlighting all your ideas for using your mung bean egg recipe as an addition to your bean consumption theme. I’ve been making this recipe on the regular. Love it. Very useful in the Japanese cooking space. Hope your pups are doing well and adjusting to the loss of brother Jiro. I’m certain they miss him as much as you do. 💐🌈💐 Thanks again for the Camino adventure ride on FB. Would love to hear interspersed in your videos, tips on eating on those travels. On the ocean route specifically, curious about access to grocery stores selling fresh produce and such. Thanks for all your continued energy in the WFPB world!

[@senjahawks857]

I've been cooking beans in my instant pot day one. I soak some of them and add all my goodies in it, cook on high 18 to 20 minutes. Just a few hrs to soak. These people who write these books make it hard for people, so they don't want to cook. I use my pot a lot. I always cook from scratch. Always have. I'm 73.

[@ApteraPioneer]

I guess people find it difficult to change, but I would never cook any of my beans or lentils in a regular pot again, after switching to an electric pressure cooker nearly ten years ago.. By now, I know exactly how long to cook each variety. That switch by itself made me eat a lot more beans. I always soak them. If I want the bean skins intact, I add 1 TBSP (avocado) oil and 1 tsp salt to the soaking water. Or if I make hummus or mushy peas, I add 1 tsp of baking soda to it, which makes the chickpeas softer. Of course I drain and rinse the soaking water off before cooking the beans in just enough clean water to cover them.

[@sallycrouse9475]

Would you be willing to share your timetable for pressure cooking soaked beans?

[@doctork1708]

BORINNNNG. Get to the point.

[@ApteraPioneer]

@@sallycrouse9475 Soaking 8-24 hours with water change every 8. The pressure cooking has too many variables. I live at 4100 feet, which can easily make a 10+ minute difference to i.e. coastal areas. I work with a 3 qt (Instant) pot, which can take longer than a larger one. And usually I prefer my beans slightly overcooked. The age of your dried legumes can also make a difference. My cooking times fall between about 25 (beluga lentils) and 50 (larger hard beans) minutes. So, you really need to make your own spreadsheet based on your own altitude, equipment and preferences. However, once you have it, you will be good to go. NEVER do I have to clean burned beans or lentils, or clean my stove, nor do I have to babysit my pot. When it is finished, I would recommend letting the pressure release naturally.

[@katherinekurash6683]

Awesome information! Thanks so much!

[@gloriaa3652]

That sandwich is good with roasted vegetables, too. Zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant. Also, keep a kettle of water at a slight simmer and you have hot water to add if your cooking beans run low.

[@MS-yt2tg]

[@kat4animals004]

I dont like too much canned food. I do enjoy some oil. No problem with some oil for me.

[@Liz-bn8fw]

You soak beans to remove phytates and make them more digestible. It isn't about convenience--thats just a side benefit. Put a T. of vinegar, whey or lemon juice in the water with the beans as they soak to help remove phytates. so you wouldnt want to use the bean water to eat. maybe for garden/plants.

So I’ve had 4 resections so each time I lost Small intestines due of Chrons. Beans give me terrible/Painful bloating. I’ve tried all those things to make it better and it really doesn’t help. Any tips

[@miagt6890]

Soak one part dry beans overnight in 3 parts water with one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Next morning rinse the soaked beans and bring them to boil 3 times; after each boil discard the water and rinse the beans. After the third boil and rinse, cook the beans until tender. This method remove most of the soluble fibre that causes bloating.

[@crankiemanx8423]

I also change the water & re rinse the beans every 2 hrs when I put them to soak.& while they are cooking I skim the white froth that comes to the surface & I find this helps a lot .

[@lynnmaas2799]

🎉 try adding a piece of kombu seaweed to the raw beans & water.

Beans absolutely have to be cooked in a pressure cooker to eliminate the lectins or they will destroy the gut. Also being aware of oxalates is essential.

I have it on decently expert authority that petting your family dog and not immediately washing your hands is potentially good for you (barring a pet with a known contagious infection probably). Drs Erica and Justin Sonnenberg, PhD researchers specializing in gut microbiome and its effects on human health, pointed out that we get microbe diversity from our environments and having regular low threat immune challenges keeps it trained and busy. They did a podcast interview with Simon Hill thats worth a listen. Nature's probiotics 😂
