White Kidney Beans

Weight loss Secret ingredient - the fibre, makes you eat less

Beans and lentils are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, B-complex vitamins and many minerals. High in folate, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, calcium and selenium.  Packed with saponins, an anti-inflammatory compound which helps your immune system protect against cancer, and lowers cholesterol.  Good source of fibre.

TO PREPARE:

Guideline:  1 cup of dry beans will make 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans - about 4 servings

Rinse to remove any dirt and stones,

Cover with 3 - 4 times the volume in warm water and soak overnight

Discard old water.  Add fresh water and bring to the boil

Pour this water off and add a fresh batch, and continue boiling until beans are soft

In place of salt try our vegetable stock for delicious flavour

Cooking time:  60 minutes for most beans, 20-  60 minutes for lentils, 4 hours for chickpeas
