Quick Tips for Cooking Beans + Lentils
Beans and lentils are pulses. If you're wondering what exactly a pulse is, it's a category of edible legume. It includes beans, lentils, dry peas, and chickpeas. The best way to cook dry beans and lentils is to soak them overnight in warm water.
Adding a little baking soda to the soaking water helps to make them easier to digest. A little salt added to the cooking pot gives them flavor and makes them less likely to fall apart.
