Marvelous, Marvelous Beans!

[@randyweber6576]

Hey Pam and Jim, one thing maybe to add with each video is how to degas each bean to help prevent flatulence.

[@conniemeyers1090]

With the price of meat so high your bean classes should be a great help in learning to use all my beans. I am excited for the classes to start!

[@jeffriffel4364]

Yes looking forward to this.

[@cubanmama4564]

I am Cuban born. Our world-wide famous beans are Cuban black beans. They are creamy, silky black, and not watery. Unlike Mexican black beans, Cuban black beans have no cheese and no cilantro. We only use olive oil, not vegetable oil. We make our beans from dried beans, not canned. We are having these tonight. They freeze quite well.

[@delgadojmar]

Garlic, onions, a bay leaf and a splash of sherry vinegar. Over long grain rice!

[@jvallas]

What's a good black bean soup?

[@rebeccaknudsen6190]

Are your Cuban black beans a different variety, or are they different in the way they are prepared? I love beans so much. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤

Great idea!

Yes, definitely interested in the bean series. Thank you for all you do. And Jim too.

[@B34RZ3RK3R]

With the trouble on the horizon with the meat market and with current issues with our govt trying to be too involved with our meats I think this is one of the MOST important series you could have created. A backup plan for when shelves have no meats or when they are unobtainable is CRUCIAL! Thank you SO MUCH! My family are thrilled to learn and have our notes ready!

[@mikefarrar3363]

You are a national treasure, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God bless you!

I grow Swedish Brown beans in rotation with my sweet corn and dent corn. I pull up the whole plant to dry them and all winter I shell them while I sit and drink hard cider and beer. Give us some of those Scandinavian recipes, if you please. Everyday is school day. Love your channel.

[@Jake-Drake]

Due to life-long digestive issues I eat a minimum of 1 Tbs. of beans/day w/a bit of extra virgin olive oil & salt. Occasionally I cook up several different types of beans and freeze them in individual freezer bags, thus I can use any amount desired over the next 3-4 months. Easy & effective. I hope this helps others.

[@QuiteContent]

Cooking with beans has always been a bit of a mystery to me. I am looking forward to your bean series. Thank you!

[@sonyareeder7855]

My husband is the typical meat eater. I think I need to start conditioning our (his) diet to include more beans and make it a priority dish. I have many of these beans in our food storage but stumped on recipes. So this series should really help.

[@donnaboyd5531]

Looking forward to this series ! I also think it would be fun to learn how to grow beans in the garden.

[@jvallas]

Yes, I moved to a mobile home this December after 30 years in a condo, & I'd love to learn a little something about growing things! Beans are a good place to start! And I just saw someone say nasturtiums help control pests and also attract a particular kind of butterfly (forgot which one).

[@truegapeach6968]

I definitely am looking forward to this series. Thank you so very much for your continued research.

[@Ruth-xr2dz]

Love this upcoming series! My 87 year old mother eats beans everyday! She is the healthiest person I know. I forgot to mention that she is on ZERO medication. We are blessed. She lives in her own home and cooks for herself everyday. We all joke it’s because of the beans but I actually think there is truth to this. 😊

[@judywallace783]

Looking forward to the bean adventure.

[@lannebromwell]

Here in the PNW we grow Rockwell beans, a dry bean that was developed in Western WA. But they will grow most places and are wonderful! You can mail order the seed; but grocery stores don't carry them because they are an heirloom. They are easy to harvest, create wonderful community when we gather to thresh them, and will store well. I highly recommend them! Oh, yes! And they are delicious, too!

[@carolynBulldog5]

I will check this bean out. I lived many years in WA. I buy my wheat and beans from Palouse Brand.( I use to live in Palouse as a kid

[@teeser2436]

Definitely interested in this series. My Pediatrician back in the 50’s and early 60’s gave her time to the poor in the Atlanta area. She believed if you couldn’t afford much feed your children beans and cornbread. She was well know here in Georgia.

[@Deborah-kh3ur]

Definitely interested in this series. I believe I know who you are referring to! She was a remarkable pediatrician that many of us used for our children. She is the reason I went into medicine and fed my children her diet recommendations. I also adopted her principles to my diet, which also helped me financially raise a family in lean times. Dr. Pam reminds me a lot of her in her knowledge and passion for helping people.

I grew up eating pinto beans and cornbread! Sometimes beans and cheese, sometimes with onion, some time with ham hock and other times with salt and pepper, maybe chow chow once in a while. I still love beans!

[@jwll970]

@@dancinginabundanceI also grew up eating pinto beans (soup beans) and cornbread. Onion were also an option to eat with them. Ham hocks/ bacon/salt and pepper all made them taste so great. I always thought they tasted better the next day. I have to season them now that I’m 67 and eating no pork.

Here's my vote for doing this series. I have never felt I would be devastated if I needed to eat beans and rice to survive. It is a common item in my meal plan. Very interested in some of the less common beans and your prefered method of cooking.

[@robinwinslow1867]

I love this idea. I also love beans. Maybe not pintos as much as most of the others. I'm looking forward to learning more about which beans are best used in which recipes, etc. It is a food source that most people can easily afford and store. Thank you for all that you and Jim do to help us live the best lives in whatever circumstances we encounter.

I can't wait to learn more about the nutritional value and preparation methods for all the wonderful beans.

When you soak those beans to sprout them put the water on your plants. Plants love the soaking water.

I’m beyond excited for this series. Also, I can assure you that you were very lucky having your mother make 2 different meal choices from the pinto beans. My mama only cooked them down and served them as “soup beans” with cornbread. Yes, I was born in the south.

Does "soup beans" mean soup with beans in it, or are they something different?

[@jwll970]

@@jvallas It’s just a term referring to the bean ‘soup’ or water they were cooked in. That’s all I ever heard them called until I left eastern Kentucky. When I go back home or down south to visit it’s still the same. Except in middle and western Tennessee. 🤷‍♀️

[@WhitakerSheila]

Borlotti beans are easy to grow and dry in the UK and taste great. I think you may know them as cranberry beans or dragons tongue beans as the pods are like a long red speckled or stripy tongue. For food security, having beans you can harvest, dry, then eat or grow again the next year might be very helpful.

When I was a child in OH my mother (raised in KY) made Pinto beans 2 ways. One with ham hocks, the other was with hamburger. She often made after school sandwiches with the leftover beans. We had white cornbread with pinto's. We also had navy beans with ham hocks and yellow cornbread. The other option was Bisquick biscuits with our beans. Just a few ways she tried to vary it. These were a loved staple in our house. I still do the same with them 50 years later. I include other varieties now as well. New ways to prepare beans are always welcome ideas.

Not even touched the lintels. Show me what you got😊 I am sure I forgot beans dishes that I make.I add beans to many dishes to boost the protein. My absolute favorite bean dish is what we ate as children and that was pinto beans over a slice of buttered bread, makes my family sick but it tastes so good to me. Many times that was all we had to eat for several weeks, my children never had that and do not know what it means to go hungry and be grateful for what ever is placed before you. You will not go hungry with beans and a little rice or grain as a combination makes a perfect protein. Beans alone will not sustain you but adding a grain with it will give you all 9 amino acids required.
