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.
Tell them how they can blow up balloons if they fart into it the correct way. That changed my fiancés mind and now she can’t stop farting. She wears roller blades a lot more now.
There is an actual study disproving that myth (that beans increase flatulence).
The issue is that so few are used to actually eating enough fiber, that they might have a temporary increase in gas when they introduce more for the first time.
My SO hated me eating beans until I discovered that walmart sells a generic bean-o for far less than the name brand. Your loved ones dont have to suffer that fate
Beans are good. I'm from Texas and there are a lot of people here who think chili with beans isn't real chili. They're full of shit (beans'd help with that too)
Soaked overnight and cooked the next afternoon while I'm finishing up work, since the texture of canned beans weirds me out a little. My favorite bean dish, which I just had tonight, is black beans + rice + onions + worcestershire sauce. During the cool seasons I make a lot of bean soups in the slow cooker, but currently it's "hoard the parmesan rinds in the freezer until it's soup season" season.
I'm definitely one of the most picky eaters you'd ever met. I dislike it, primarily due of the texture. Having said that, I do enjoy hummus, if that counts.
