15 Delicious (And Budget-Friendly) Bean Recipes That Are Anything But Boring
"Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you...love them! There's a misconception that beans are boring, but it couldn't be further from the truth. As a certified bean lover (or at least, if there was certification available, I think I'd pass that test), I guarantee that beans belong on your table for many reasons. Not only are beans budget-friendly, but they are also packed with protein, fiber, and iron, and can bulk up meat-filled or vegan recipes alike."
"Heck, you can even make them into dessert. In my constant efforts to make people fall in love with beans, I'm sharing some of my favorite ways to use 'em. I need to know: What are your favorite ways to eat more beans?"
Beans are affordable, nutrient-dense foods high in protein, fiber, and iron. They add bulk and nutritional value to both meat-based and vegan dishes. Beans can be prepared in numerous ways including soups, stews, salads, dips, casseroles, and even desserts. Incorporating beans stretches grocery budgets and increases plant-based protein intake. Various bean types—black, pinto, chickpeas, lentils, and navy beans—offer different textures and flavors suited to diverse cuisines. Simple techniques like soaking, slow-cooking, pureeing, and spicing transform beans into creamy spreads, hearty mains, or sweet treats. Encouraging frequent bean use can boost nutrition and culinary variety.
