Beans are a common food around the globe and for good reason: they’re rich in fiber, protein, and can be delicious. You might think of beans only as an ingredient in chili con carne or baked beans, but they’re not limited to these applications – in Japan, for instance, red beans are commonly used in desserts. There are also various Chinese sweets that also incorporate either red beans or mung beans. That, of course, excludes things like soya beans which are used both fresh (as edamame) as well as in various sauces and condiments ranging from soya sauce to miso and various fermented condiments found throughout southeast Asia and northeast India. Tempeh and tofu are also made from soya bean and that just goes to show how versatile and essential beans are to various cuisines worldwide. So whether you’re indulging in a nice steamy bowl of chili or a Japanese sweet, there are numerous ways to celebrate humble beans. I'll have mine on toast.
My son is allergic to them, beans that is. Soya flour is an increasing problem as so many foods are being bulked out with this which is produced by grinding the beans. Take a look at the list of ingredients, particularly bread products in your supermarket, you'll be surprised at how many items include this.
I enjoy baked beans with a fry up, but done in the frying pan in the same oil as the mushrooms and egg mmmm.
I can't remember where I read it or heard it but soya is a bigger allergy issue than milk or gluten!!
If Greta Thumknuckle sees this post she'll scream and stamp her feet. Cows are already producing too much methane and so will you if encouraged to eat beans.
