- To cook dry legumes, add 1 cup of dry beans to 5 cups of hot water and heat to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes and then remove from heat. Let the beans sit covered for at least 1 hour. The longer they are soaked, the less gas the beans will produce. Drain water before serving.
- Canned beans are already cooked. Just drain and rinse before serving. You can also heat them up in a pan with water or tomato sauce for about a minute.
- Try topping your salads with canned or cooked beans to add protein!
