 The USDA's ranking of foods by antioxidant capacity lists small dried red beans as having the highest antioxidant capacity per serving size of any food tested; in fact, of the four top-scoring foods, three were beans (red beans, red kidney beans, and pinto beans). Many bean varieties have a lot of folic acid (especially adzukis, black-eyed peas, lentils, and pinto beans), which have serious benefits for the heart; there's also magnesium, iron, zinc, and potassium and—especially in red kidney beans— an important enzyme-enhancing mineral called molybdenum. |

 Studies have shown that ingesting a bean dish helps prevent blood-sugar elevations not only at that meal, but at the following meal, as well.1 One of the ways I have helped diabetics lower their blood sugar is to have them eat a helping of beans at breakfast and another helping at supper. There are many different beans from which to choose, including soybeans, navy beans, kidney beans, mung beans, black beans, and lentils.

 Here are a few bean tips to get you started.
Canned beans save the day! Just open a can, rinse, and go. Otherwise, you'll probably be stuck soaking dry beans in water overnight and then boiling until tender. Kidney beans and black beans seem to fare the best in most recipes including salads and soups.
Frozen beans are lifesavers, too. In my opinion, having frozen beans on hand is a great idea because leftovers are easy to store-you take only what you need and put the rest of the bag back in the freezer. |

 Adding a piece of kombu seaweed to the pot while cooking can also reduce gas production, as it helps to break down the hard outer shell of the bean and, consequently, increases digestibility. Some beans are easier to digest than others. Experiment to discover which are best for you. adzuki beans lentils (tempeh -soy) beans & bean sprouts (miso) (tofu - soy) kidney beans mung beans white beans nuts & seeds
Avoid roasted, salted nuts and seeds. Instead, choose raw, unsalted nuts and seeds in their natural state, as they provide a good source of healthy fats. |

 This is one way to enjoy a good bean soup and not have to worry about the after-effects.
A. You offer an interesting twist on a familiar practice. Indigestible sugars in the coating of the beans are responsible for most bean-related flatulence. To minimize these compounds, soak beans in water that has been brought just to the boil, then discard the soaking water. Your technique is a variation.
Another reader suggested a different approach: "Add a potato while cooking dried beans. This works for me every time."
Several culinary traditions also have hints that may help. |

Substitutes for Dairy
Avoid dairy, including milk, yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream, and cream sauces. Replace these products with rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk. Eat nothing with casein (a protein found in the milk of all mammals) in the ingredients. |

 To peel, use a paring knife and peel one end, then squeeze the opposite end and the bean will slip out easily.
These are general guidelines. Some varieties of grains and beans will require different cooking times than those specified in the chart. This will depend on the variety of the bean. The variation will only be a matter of a few minutes. If you are cooking packaged beans with directions, always follow the recommendations on the package for the variety you have. |

 Beans and lentils (watch for MSG in bean mixes)
Beans and lentils are another excellent food source. Don't fall into the trap of buying bean soup mixes or flavor mixes that contain MSG or yeast extract, since both ingredients are classified as excitotoxins. As with other foods, read the labels or just buy dry beans and add your own flavors.
Lentils are my favorite, because they are naturally high in protein and fiber. They're versatile, easy to cook, and can be quite delicious when prepared properly. |

 At the edge of the garden, Aureliano showed me the corn and bean field he tends and harvests twice a year. He showed me how the low-growing beans provide moisture-capturing ground cover and fix nitrogen in the soil and, in turn, how the corn provides stalks for the bean vines to climb.
"He took me back to the house where he showed me how the corn is dried, then soaked in water with ash and lime, to loosen the tough outer skin," Eliza explained. "Then his wife demonstrated how the corn is ground, made into dough, patted into tortillas, and served with beans and squash. |

| Beans (also known as legumes) and soy (considered a bean) are two of 11 plant foods that the AICR recently named as "foods that fight cancer." The active ingredients in beans that seem to play a protective role include three distinguished phytochemicals: saponins, protease inhibitors, and phytic acid. According to the AICR, they protect cells from the type of genetic damage that can lead to cancer. Laboratory studies have shown saponins' ability to inhibit the reproduction of cancer cells and slow the growth of tumors in several types of tissues. |

 As you've probably come to suspect, where there's folklore smoke, there's medical fire—in the case of the fava bean, a whole lot of it.
Favism, as modern medical science has so aptly labeled it, is an inherited enzyme deficiency carried by 400 million people. It's the most common enzyme deficiency in the world. In extreme cases, people who have favism and eat fava beans (or take certain drugs) experience rapid, severe anemia that can often lead to death. scientists first caught wind of the truth behind some people's deadly reaction to fava beans during the Korean War. |
| If you marked up a map to show where favism is most common, and then overlaid that with the areas where fava bean cultivation is most common, guess what? At this point, you may not be all that surprised at what I'm about to tell you—favism genes and fava bean farms? Same places, same people. Favism is most commonand most deadly—in North Africa and Southern Europe, all around the Mediterranean. Which happen to be exactly the places where fava beans are historically cultivated and consumed. |

 The tonka bean, from which coumarin is extracted, contains so much of the stuff that when the beans are dried it crystallizes on top. Remarkably, tonka beans contain little else, so it is not as if the smell was new in its pure form. The main justification for using a man-made material, then as now, is that you can get it cheaper than by extracting it from the real thing. Coumarin costs €10 a kilo, Tonka bean absolute €400 a kilo. Fougere Royale also contains many naturals, chiefly oakmoss and lavender. I'm guessing, the formula is not in the public domain. |

 As winters get milder and wetter, winter wheat will thrive along with warm-loving legumes like navy beans (the traditional baked bean), which could become a major crop in southern England. Many of these crops may also benefit from the fertilising effect of an atmosphere richer in carbon dioxide, and across Europe as a whole, warm-loving crops like sunflowers and soybeans will be able to grow much further north. Wheat and maize may even expand into new areas of western Russia and southern Scandinavia. |
