Nutrition Tip

Beans are a great way to add fiber and plant-based protein to your diet.

When preparing dried beans, place them in a pot and cover with water. Soak these beans overnight. After soaking, rinse the beans and then simply follow your recipe. Keep in mind that the beans will expand as they soak and 1 cup dry beans will yield about 2 1/2 cups after soaking.
