RE: Why We Should Eat BEANS? Which BEANS Are The Best For Our Health? Picking some fresh beans.

in #food7 years ago

Yes, beans really are a superfood 👍 It's got so many important nutrients in them as you've mentioned @joalvarez, and as a person on a plant-based diet I believe that it really is an important food for us.

I find it very useful for myself to soak the beans in water for a few hours before cooking them, or even soaked overnight. It helps a lot with my digestion and doesn't cause flatulence. But doing this does strip it away of some of its nutrients, so I just make sure I also use that same water it was soaked in to cook with, or just do a slow cook instead.

Such a wonderful article all in all 😁

Thanks @immaturetime for your awesome tip.
I'll definitely try soaking them overnight. I did it one time just to see if they would cook faster this way, but it didn't make any difference but I didn't pay attention if it was helpful with my digestion, so I'll pay more attention this time.

Love your response and tip.
