Beans are high in protein, efficient to grow, and can even improve soil health. They cost less than conventional or new plant-based meats, and they’re increasingly getting attention among foodies.

    I add some baking soda to the soak or boiling pot so they’ll soften up faster. explained here.

      I had never heard of this, and wondered why. Then read this.

      One of the quicker ways to cook beans that I haven’t addressed in this article is by applying high pressure using pressure cookers. I grew up in India, where pressure cookers are the workhorse of many kitchens.
