Legumes are a part of a diet of the longest (and healthiest!) living communites in the world, and not without a reason. The benefits of including beans and lentils in your daily diet are numerous. They are a great inexpensive source of vegetarian and vegan protein, iron, dietary fiber and vital vitamins. Pulses are credited for their properties that contribute to weight control, diabetes protection and reduced risk of heart desease. And of course they simply taste fantastic - if cooked right!
In many countries around the world beans and lentils have always been a part of a staple diet. Easy to grow and store, inexpensive, flavourful and nutritious, they can keep you full and healthy throughout seasons. Unfortunately, in many modern cultures the art of preparing pulses is partly lost.
Indeed it can be challenging to include lentils and beans to a daily diet, if you are not sure how to cook them. Moreover, beans are infamous for causing digestion probems. The good news is, if they are cooked right, and with correct spices, all of these issues can be avoided.
Our course is created to teach you how to easily cook dry beans and lentils every single day, from scratch. How to make your dishes flavourful and make sure that your stomach is always happy.
