Since you have this video up, could you add that beans should be boiled for at least 10 minutes in water before slow cooking them to get rid of lectins? This is because slow cooking may not reach high enough temperatures to destroy lectins, even if cooking for hours.
Man I love my legumes all of them, you can make so many delicious dishes. Red lentils soup 😋 green lentils curry, black eyed beans Brazilian fejolada, red kidney beans with pasta and potatoes 😋 chickpeas hummus and many more dishes. They are great for ethnic dishes which I loooove making. Legumes are life 🙌🏽🙌🏽people who don’t like them are missing a lot, on top of it they are really good for us, what more do we want?!? I love mines dried as well as canned I don’t discriminate 😜
Dry beans definitely taste better but they really are a hassle. I usually only make them on the weekend. For weeknights after work nothing beats the can for convenience. I feel great eating a can of beans a day. I try to add at least some form every day, whether it be from a can, lentils, tofu, tempeh, tvp, etc...
Yeah. 1/2 can of beans does make the perfect addition to any cooked dinner. I try to eat .5 can with both lunch and dinner. Some days I end up doing Raw till 4 diet Style with fruit for both breakfast and lunch, especially during the summer when the fruit is good!
Did you have to get use to that much fiber over time, or is your stomach fine with it? Roughly how old are you if you don't mind me asking? If you're still around. Looks like it's been 5 years! Thanks.
@@DomSchu Thanks. I do eat a a fair amount of fiber everyday, but I've never had more than a 1/2 cup of beans a day. I've always wanted to eat more beans, so I think I'm going to sometimes have meals with 1/2 cup of beans, twice a day and see how it goes.
Now I realize why beans is the number one food in Puerto Rican homes. I love them and can’t imagine not having them in my diet. Mom used to make them every day but now that I am on my own I don’t make them as much. Will make a pot today.
I bought a instant pot / a digital pressure cooker and I make dry beans from scratch now. Saves a lot of money over buying canned beans and really helps with the meal prep. Hope you enjoy your favorite!
When I was growing up, my mom always used dry beans. They were so good when she would add sauteed yellow onion and garlic. The shiznit! I usually cook with canned beans but recently bought some dried pinto beans. I would like to make some burritos with them. It seems like dry beans have less of a metallic taste than canned beans. I think dry beans overall have more flavor so I'm going to start cooking with the dry ones for now (except canned chickpeas).
Hey Penelope, I wish I could update this video. Since making this video I have purchased an instant pot and I now make mostly all of my beans and lentils in the instant pot rather than canned. Chickpeas. Lentils. Pinto beans. !
Casike Almeyda I do also.. And I buy the lower sodium Goya beans Because I have hypertension however I think I need to look for a brand with lower sodium or boil my own . Btw. Rinsing throws away a lot of the nutrition so I think I will boil a small bag and freeze the portion I’m not going to prepare for that meal.
Unless you are just blindly eating with absolutely no regard for your calorie intake, how are you supposed to figure out the serving sizes with home cooked beans? Canned beans are a huge advantage if you are mindful of your calories.
Soak your dry beans overnight in water, then the next day bring the beans to a boil, then simmer for a hour and a half to two hours, done! no Hassel at all.
I prefer Canned beans , various beans , sometimes I have only one meal a day and it will be a can of beans and I will drink a glass of V8 juice with my can of beans ...the beans I sometimes just mix Apple Cider vinegar and spices for flavor and Health :) ...
I do organic can beans rinse multiple times. I sauté red onions and fresh garlic, spices , cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, little curry powder, all organic, organic vegetable broth and organic coconut milk. I cook 1 hour. I use all the beans and lentils in the can. Today I mixed black beans and lentils. Two cans each to last the week. I eat with leafy greens.
I strongly disagree that it is a hassle to cook dried beans. I have soup beans (pinto, kidney, Navy, whatever) almost every day for lunch. About once a week, I cook up a pot starting with 2-3 cups, a ham hock or piece of ham, a chopped onion, and including a can or two of chicken broth, and water of course). It takes about ten minutes to get them going on a slow simmer, and then adding water occasionally as needed. If this becomes part of your routine, it's very little work., for a homebody at least. I can tell where we are in the process by the smell.
I don't get it! How many calories are in the dark red kidney beans can when two different serving sizes are listed? If you ate the entire can that is? Is it "serving size 1/2 cup" so 110+110=220 calories for a whole can. Or is it "serving about 3.5" that is (100)(3.5)=385 calories for the a whole can of kidney beans???? Am I missing something? Why two serving sizes?
One serving is considered one half cup. 3.5 is approx. Total servings per container. And I'm pretty sure that includes the total contents of the can including the liquid inside, because if you drain off the beans only, you'll notice that there are not 3.5 one half cup servings of just beans. Say approximately 385 calories in the entire can of dark red kidney beans.
not a big soup guy. but for the record i no longer buy canned beans that much, once i got a pressure cooker it just became much easier to handle larger meal prep
If you buy in a can I would recommend to trying to get the bpa-free liner. I solved this problem by purchasing dried beans and now I use an instant pot. Time for graduation
Bro i eat 3 to 4 a day (dark red kidney and black beans) but i don't get organic :(......if i wash the beans of there juice is it still just as healthy and wouldn't that remove the sodium??? I been curious?
Oh man beans! that's another food I miss eating, I gave up eating beans back when I would low-carb but also because they caused problems in my stomach 😢☹️ I never ate canned beans but I'll give them a shot if they're easier to digest then dried beans
this is an older video. I have since bought an instant pot and started buying dried beans instead. It's much cheaper. If you're going to start eating more beans, start slowly like only eat a couple spoonfuls and then gradually introduce more especially if they used to give you trouble.
@@RedPillVegan oh yesterday I cooked some black beans that I soaked in the fridge for 2 days and I ate a half a cup and my stomach was hurting so badly all day ☹️ I mean like stabbing pains in my stomach 😢 I cooked a beans for 2 hours, I didn't know about starting off with spoonfuls, but that makes sense to get your body used to it, or should I have cooked beans for longer? It's a major bummer because I grew up eating beans and I never had problems, until a few years ago I started experiencing digestive issues with beans well with fiber in general, or are some beans easier to digest than others? I'll try the spoonful method but if there's an easier to digest bean out there I'd like to try it see if it works for me
@@RedPillVegan I should get a pressure cooker in the future myself, but for now yeah I'll look and see if I can find videos on how long to cook beans and easy to digest beans, I'm thinking I should probably take digestive enzymes also 🤔 that's one of the reasons why I went low-carb was because I was having all these digestive issues, I blamed it on plant foods but now I see really had to do with my body's ability to digest certain foods and fibers, but for sure low-carb keto was never the answer to begin with
Since making this video i have purchased an instant pot and now I rarely buy canned beans anymore because it’s cheaper to just hit the button and come back with any many as you want ready
Kaylee christine I don't think salt is ever a vegan concern, meaning I don't think salt is derived from animals. Do watch out for some canned beans... Like barbecue beans and things like that might have pork. www.peta.org/living/food/salt-101/
You might be thinking of sugar which is often processed through bone char. If that's a concern for you, then look for vegan sugar like Florida Crystals
Z E if they are fully cooked you should be ok. But most of the time, The process that most people do, is they cook the beans first and then they mash them up. And then you can make bean paste or refried beans, or dal, or curry, etc. (depending on your culture and your food preferences) - what you are suggesting in terms of process is kind of backwards. Some beans are actually so firm that in their dry form, they might fk up your blender.
@@RedPillVegan thank you I really appreciate it. I just grinded up some beans and I was just wondering if it was okay. Next time I do beans I will just cook them them mashed them up.
Get a stove top pressure cooker. 1 lb only 30 min to 45. Easy and flavorable. I also pc my dry beans. We store organic in can as well for those days. Dont be a lazy cook. Thsts why this country is FAT. SORRY if i offend. Spend time preparing your food.
People are not getting fat from eating canned beans. (Not talkin about those processed baked beans with processed meat and sugar) There is nothing wrong with plain canned beans. That being said, since I made this video I almost never buy canned beans anymore because I bought an instant pot and I buy dried beans now. I appreciate the feedback but this seems a little bit strange... Especially because this has already been discussed in the comment section
Since doing this video I got an instant pot and make about 95% Of my beans and legumes from dry.
Canned is still good, but this is how I do it now

Absolutely, 30-35 minutes cook time in the instant pot.
Buy a Pressure Cooker worth $50 and cook beans in 30 minutes! Not 8 Hrs.
I did, see other identical comments
Man I love my legumes all of them, you can make so many delicious dishes.

I used try beans most of time I used can without the sodium. Thank you for sharing and caring 😀
Welcome. Check out some more videos
My attempts to make beans from scratch never work out (soggy or crunchy) I buy the canned ones and rinse them.
Heather Allingham since this video i got an instant pot, problem solved for me

Exactly me too, I soak them the day before and I cook them the next day in a pressure cooker, doesn’t take long at all
Yeah been cooking more dry beans lately in large batches... few days worth makes it a great value
I always get rid of the jus by washing heavily the canned beans before cooking it.

You need to try bean soup. With vegan sausage

8 hrs to cook beans? What you using as a heat source, luv? A candle?

What's the legal limit for how many beans are in a can of beans? 239! Because if they put in one more, I't would be 2 foarty!😂😁
Lol
Sodium is the issue even if you wash them.
I use an instant pot and prepare dried beans nowadays
For Lordy Sake. To much Salt in can Beans
Take 15 minutes and cook dry beans the old fashioned way. They taste so much better.
Yeah i mostly cook dry beans these days
You need to drain and rinse the tinned beans...
Why
Red Pill Vegan Greatly reduces the amount of sodium and the amount of gas producing sugars
Red Pill Vegan So it’s not so much of a “need” it’s just beneficial
there is only 8 oz of actual beans in those cans
I have been buying more dried legumes. Mostly kabuli Chana and masoor Dal,
The value on dried is overwhelming
A lot more economical to buy dried
“DRKB” 🤣
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks
I think if u can smell it rotten then you know it had nutrition before u could smell rot
