3. Show the difference between legumes and grains.
4. Demonstrate the distinction between legumes and grains.
They are a nutritious staple of diets around the world and an inexpensive source of protein,
vitamins, complex carbohydrates, and fiber. It refers to any plant from the Fabaceae family that
would include its leaves, stems, and pods. The entire legume plant is often used in agricultural
applications (as cover crops or in livestock feed or fertilizers).
It is the edible seed from a legume plant. Pulses include beans, lentils, and peas. For example, a
pea pod is a legume, but the pea inside the pod is the pulse. The seeds or pulses are what
typically end up on our dinner plates. Beans in their various forms (kidney, black, pinto, navy,
chickpeas, etc.) are just one type of pulse.
Are small, hard, and edible dry seeds that grow on grass-like plants like wheat, oats, rice, and
corn are members of Poaceae family. Other important grains include sorghum, millet, rye, and
barley. Around the globe, grains, also called cereals, are the most important staple food. Grains
are also used to feed livestock and to manufacture some cooking oils, fuels, cosmetics, and
alcohols.
Types of legumes:
Chickpeas have a nutty buttery flavor and creamy texture that can enhance many recipes.
There are various ways to incorporate cooked chickpeas:
Lentils are highly versatile. They have a rich, earthy texture and will give any dish a
boost of fiber and nutrients. They can add thickness and bulk to a recipe. Because of their
hearty texture and protein content, they are sometimes used as an alternative for meat.
Here are a few ways to incorporate cooked lentils:
Toss into salads or cooked whole grains, or fold into an omelet mixture before
cooking.
Make a pasta sauce thicker and heartier by adding lentils.
Substitute cooked yellow or red lentils for chickpeas in a hummus recipe.
Reduce the meat mixture in a recipe such as for chilis, stews, taco and pepper
fillings, and replace that amount with lentils to add more bulk and nutrients.
Use a food processor or blender to grind lentils into a paste and stir into a veggie
burger mixture or meatless meatballs.

5. Green peas - is sweet, fresh and, well, green. Toss them into pasta and rice pilaf, puree
them to make spring pea soup or add them to a panzanella salad. Indeed, there are plenty
of ways to eat green peas, and a few compelling reasons for doing so namely that they are
high in many antioxidants and nutrients (vitamins A, C, and E, to name a few) and low in
calories, to boot.
1. Wheat (Triticum) - comes in thousands of varieties, the most common of which are
durum wheat (Triticum durum), usually ground into semolina for pasta and couscous;
common wheat (Triticum aestivum), which accounts for 80 percent of worldwide
production and is used to make bread; and club wheat (Triticum compactum), which is
used in pastry. Different types of wheat can be classified as “hard” (more protein) or soft,
red (more tannins) or white, winter (sown in fall) or spring (sown in spring), but to get
the most nutrition, look for “whole wheat.”
2. Oats (Avena sativa) - are one of the few common grains almost always sold whole. Old-
fashioned, or rolled oats are steamed and flattened, whereas steel-cut oats consist of the
entire grain kernel, cracked for faster cooking. They’re the best whole grain for lowering
blood cholesterol levels, and a good source of protein, calcium, iron, vitamin B1, and
niacin.
4. Corn (Zea mays) - has an especially high content of oily germ, which makes whole-
grain corn prone to rancidity, so why most cornmeal on the market is degermed. Make
sure your cornmeal is labeled “whole corn” or “whole grain” (stone ground cornmeal is
often whole grain, but not always) to get the most nutrients, and store that highly
perishable cornmeal in the fridge or freezer. You can use antioxidant-packed whole grain
cornmeal for grits, polenta, cornmeal pancakes, or cornbread.
1. Wheat (Triticum) - of all varieties can be refined into white flour, but the most popular
is common wheat (Triticum aestivum), which is ideal for baking bread. It’s the main
component of flour tortillas, used in burritos and fajitas, and French pastries such as
croissants.
3. White rice (Oryza sativa) - is any type of rice that has had the germ and bran removed,
including jasmine, basmati, sticky rice, short-, medium-, and long-grain rice, and their
products, including the rice noodles in pad Thai and the rice wrappers used for dumplings
and spring rolls.

LEARNING OUTCOME 2: IMPORTANCE OF GRAINS USED AS A FOOD
SUBSTITUTE
Learning Objectives:
Whole grains deliver a variety of important nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber,
and other healthy plant compounds.
One of the biggest health benefits of whole grains is that they lower your risk of heart disease,
which is the leading cause of death worldwide. A review of 10 studies found that three 1-ounce
(28-gram) servings of whole grains daily may lower your risk of heart disease by 22%.
Researchers concluded that heart-healthy diets should include more whole grains and fewer
refined grains.
Eating whole grains may lower your risk of heart disease, especially when they replace refined
grains.
Whole grains may also help lower your risk of stroke. In an analysis of 6 studies in nearly
250,000 people, those eating the most whole grains had a 14% lower risk of stroke than those
eating the fewest. Furthermore, certain compounds in whole grains, such as fiber, vitamin K, and
antioxidants, can reduce your risk of stroke.
As part of a heart-healthy diet, whole grains may help lower your risk of stroke.
Eating fiber-rich foods can help fill you up and prevent overeating. This is one reason high-fiber
diets are recommended for weight loss. Whole grains and products made from them are more
filling than refined grains, and research suggests that they may lower your risk of obesity. In fact,
eating 3 servings of whole grains daily was linked to lower body mass index (BMI) and less
belly fat in a review of 15 studies in almost 120,000 people.
Decades of research suggest that whole grains are linked to a lower risk of obesity.
Eating whole in place of refined grains may lower your risk of type 2 diabetes. A review of 16
studies concluded that replacing refined grains with whole varieties and eating at least 2 servings
Fiber and magnesium are two nutrients in whole grains that help lower your risk of type 2
diabetes.
The fiber in whole grains can support healthy digestion in various ways. First, fiber helps give
bulk to stools and lowers your risk of constipation. Second, some types of fiber in grains act as
prebiotics. This means they help feed your beneficial gut bacteria, which are important for
digestive health.
Due to their fiber content, whole grains help support healthy digestion by giving bulk to stools
and feeding your beneficial gut bacteria.
Inflammation is at the root of many chronic diseases. Some evidence suggests that whole grains
can help reduce inflammation. In one study, women who ate the most whole grains were least
likely to die from inflammation-related chronic conditions. What’s more, in a recent study,
people with unhealthy diets replaced refined wheat products with whole wheat products and saw
a reduction in inflammatory markers. The results of these and other studies support public health
recommendations to replace most refined grains with whole grains.
Eating whole grains regularly could help lower inflammation, a key factor in many chronic
diseases.
Research on whole grains and cancer risk have provided mixed results, though they show
promise. In one review of 20 studies, 6 showed a reduced risk of cancer, while 14 indicated no
link. Current research suggests that whole grains’ strongest anticancer benefits are against
colorectal cancer, one of the most common types of cancer. Lastly, other components of whole
grains, including phytic acid, phenolic acids, and saponins, may slow the development of cancer.
Whole grains may help prevent colorectal cancer, one of the most common types of cancer. Still,
research on whole grains’ anticancer effects is mixed.
Whole grains are linked to a lower risk of dying prematurely from any cause.
Food substitutions can have major benefits, including fewer calories, less cholesterol, and more
stable blood sugar levels. These changes often lead to weight loss and lower your risks for heart
disease, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases.
Wheat
- All-purpose flour is one of those ingredients that seems so simple in theory (it’s a staple pantry
item for a reason), but these days, flour comes in all different varieties: whole wheat, gluten-free,
nut-based, and some even made from beans.
Like all-purpose flour, cake and pastry flours are made from milled wheat, but they have
a lower protein content. Cake flour makes baked goods light and tender.
2. Bread Flour
Unlike cake flour, bread flour is on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to
protein. It has a higher protein content that forms even more gluten when the dough is
kneaded. It’s perfect for sturdy baked recipes, like bread.
3. Self-Rising Flour
5. Almond Flour
This nut-based flour, sometimes called almond meal, is made from ground raw almonds.
It’s high in fiber, plus it’s gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and low in carbs.
6. Oat Flour
This gluten-free flour is made from ground oats. It has a slightly nutty flavor that tastes
great in pancakes, waffles, and granola bars.
7. Millet Flour
This flour is ground from a tiny ancient grain that boasts a ton of nutrition, including
fiber and magnesium.
8. Rice Flour
This flour comes in both white and brown rice options. It makes a great flour substitute;
however, it tends to be a little gritty, so look for one labeled “finely ground.”
9. Coconut Flour
It is a high fiber, low-carb, gluten-free alternative flour made from dried coconut. It has a
distinct tropical flavor, so it’s not perfect for all recipes, not to mention it absorbs a ton of
moisture, which can make your baked goods dense.
Buckwheat flour isn’t made from wheat at all, but from buckwheat seeds that are gluten-
free. It has a nutty flavor that’s best used as a substitute for AP flour when making
chocolate chip pancakes or muffins.
It’s a type of wheat flour that has a similar protein content to all-purpose, but it has a
nutty flavor that’s delicious in chocolate chip cookies.
Chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) are high in protein and fiber, which makes them super
filling. There are so many ways to use chickpeas, but did you know there’s also flour
made from chickpeas? It’s great for savory and sweet baked goods.
is made from whole potatoes that have been dried and ground (not to be confused with
potato starch). It absorbs moisture really well, which is why it’s great as a thickener for
soups and sauces. When it comes to baking with potato flour, it’s best to stick to recipes
that call for it.
Rye flour can range from light to dark and has a slightly sour flavor. Even though rye
flour contains some gluten, it doesn’t have a lot, so it needs to be combined with another
flour to help it rise. The more rye flour used, the denser the bread will be.
It can be used as the base for this filling roasted vegetable salad, but when quinoa is
ground into some flour, it can also be used to add nutty flavor to brownies and quick
breads.
Oats
- Oatmeal is a classic breakfast dish, beloved for both its flavor and its versatility. In fact, you
may already be enjoying your oatmeal, either sweet or savory, when you start to switch up your
ingredients. However, if you’re feeling stuck in a rut with your morning meal or looking for
gluten-free, high protein, or keto-friendly alternatives, plenty are available.
Oats Substitute:
1. Amaranth
Amaranth is an ancient grain with a slightly sweet, nutty taste that works well in place of
oatmeal. Try making an easy breakfast porridge by combining amaranth with coconut or
2. Millet
Naturally gluten-free and rich in vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium,
and folate, millet may be the most nutritious substitute for oatmeal. To whip up a simple
and scrumptious breakfast porridge with millet, combine millet with your choice of milk
in a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until fully
cooked. Stir in your favorite sweetener and sprinkle on some toppings such as sliced
fruits, nuts, or shredded coconut.
3. Quinoa
With its nutty taste, quinoa can provide you with plenty of protein and flavor in an
oatmeal alternative. Best of all, quinoa oatmeal can be super easy to make. Simmer your
quinoa with almond or coconut milk and a drizzle of maple syrup until fully cooked. Best
of all, quinoa oatmeal can be super easy to make. Simmer your quinoa with almond or
coconut milk and a drizzle of maple syrup until fully cooked.
4. Buckwheat
Buckwheat is a high protein whole grain known for its earthy taste. Buckwheat groats
boast a large amount of fiber, along with vitamins and minerals like potassium,
phosphorus, and magnesium. For a quick and easy weekday breakfast, combine your
cooked buckwheat groats with milk and your favorite toppings — like bananas, berries,
raisins, nuts, or seeds.
5. Ground flaxseed
If you’re looking for a nutrient-dense and grain-free breakfast, consider adding flaxseed
to your next shopping list. To make flaxseed porridge, combine flaxseed meal with
coconut milk, vanilla, and cinnamon and store it overnight in your fridge. Serve as is or
heat it in a saucepan with ingredients like nut butter, shredded coconut, or fresh fruit.
Nuts and seeds can be a great grain-free substitute for oatmeal if you’re following a paleo
diet. Add your choice of nuts and seeds to your food processor and pulse it until the
7. Brown rice
Brown rice is a highly nutritious whole grain that provides a hearty dose of fiber, protein,
manganese, and selenium in each serving. You can use it to make brown rice breakfast
porridge, a delicious and filling alternative to oatmeal. Simply combine cooked brown
rice with your preferred milk, fruit, honey, and cinnamon in a saucepan and bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat, let it simmer for about 20 minutes until fully cooked.
8. Wheat berries
Composed of the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel, wheat berries are a type
of whole grain with a crunchy texture and earthy taste. You can eat cooked wheat berries
in place of oatmeal and pair them with fresh fruit, nuts, and milk or yogurt for a simple
and satisfying morning meal.
9. Chia seeds
Low in carbs but packed with protein and heart-healthy fats, chia seeds are a great
alternative to oatmeal when you’re following a low carb or ketogenic diet. You can try
making overnight chia seed oatmeal by combining chia seeds with shredded coconut,
unsweetened almond milk, and your favorite spices and low carb sweetener. You may
also want to add sliced almonds, walnuts, or dried fruit to kick the flavor up a notch.
For an easy way to squeeze more healthy fats, fiber, protein, and vitamin E into your
daily diet, consider using hemp seeds in place of your oatmeal. Hemp seeds work best
when paired with other keto-friendly ingredients, such as chia seeds or flaxseed, to make
a tasty breakfast bowl. Combine them with unsweetened almond milk, stevia, almond
butter, and pecans. Heat on the stove or in the microwave and enjoy your keto-friendly
breakfast.
Made from blanched, ground almonds, almond meal can be used in many of your favorite
baked goods in place of oats. Almond meal has a coarser consistency than almond flour
and works especially well in foods like cookies, cakes, muffins, and quick breads.
Spelt flour packs quite a punch when it comes to nutrition. It boasts a healthy amount of
protein, fiber, manganese, and niacin in every serving. It also has a rich taste and chewy
texture that can make it a good replacement for oats in baking. You can use spelt flour in
place of oats when making your favorite muffins, breads, cookies, scones, or cakes.
Rice Substitute:
- Rice is a staple in many people’s diets. It’s filling, inexpensive, and a great mild-tasting
addition to flavorful dishes. However, rice — white rice in particular — may not be appropriate
for everyone’s dietary needs. For instance, people who are trying to eat fewer carbs or calories
may want a lighter alternative like riced cauliflower. In addition, swapping out rice for
alternative healthy choices, such as other whole grains, can add variety to your diet.
1. Quinoa
While it assumes a grain-like taste and texture after cooking, quinoa is a seed. This
popular rice substitute is gluten-free and much higher in protein than rice. In fact, a 1/2-
cup (92-gram) serving of cooked quinoa provides 4 grams of protein — double the
amount found in the same serving of white rice. Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it
contains all nine essential amino acids that your body needs. This makes it a great protein
source for vegetarians. To cook it, combine one-part dried quinoa with two parts water
and bring it to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat, allowing it to simmer until all the water
is absorbed. Remove the cooked quinoa from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then
fluff it with a fork.
2. Riced cauliflower
3. Riced broccoli
4. Shirataki rice
Shirataki rice is another popular rice alternative for low-carb and low-calorie dieters. It’s
made from konjac root, which is native to Asia and rich in a unique fiber called
glucomannan. To prepare shirataki rice, rinse it well in water, boil it for 1 minute, and
then heat the rice in a pan over medium heat until dry. Rinsing shirataki rice before
cooking helps reduce its unique odor.
5. Barley
Barley is a grain that’s closely related to wheat and rye. It looks like oats and has a chewy
texture and earthy taste. With about 100 calories, a 1/2-cup (81-gram) serving of cooked
barley provides about the same number of calories as an equal serving of white rice. Yet,
it contains a bit more protein and fiber. To cook barley, bring one-part hulled barley and
four parts waters to a boil, then reduce it to medium heat and cook it until the barley is
soft, or about 25–30 minutes. Drain the excess water prior to serving.
6. Whole-wheat couscous
Couscous is a type of pasta that’s widely used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern
cuisine. It’s made of very small pearls of flour. Couscous pearls are much smaller than
grains of rice, so they add a unique texture to the foods they’re served with. To make
couscous, combine one part couscous and one part water, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Remove it from heat and allow the couscous to sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff it with a
fork before serving.
7. Chopped cabbage
Chopped cabbage is another excellent alternative to rice. Cabbage is low in calories and
carbs with a mild flavor that compliments many styles of cuisine. It’s an excellent source
of vitamins C and K, with a 1/2-cup (75-gram) serving providing 31% and 68% of the
DV, respectively. To cook chopped cabbage, finely chop a cabbage by hand or using a
food processor. Then cook it with a small amount of oil over medium heat until it’s
tender.
Orzo is a type of pasta that’s like rice in shape, size, and texture. Whole-wheat orzo packs
more fiber and protein than regular orzo, which makes it the healthier choice. Whole-
wheat orzo is a great source of fiber, which can help improve digestion by bulking up and
softening your stool, as well as serving as a food source for your healthy gut bacteria. To
prepare orzo, boil the pasta in water over medium heat until it reaches the tenderness you
desire and drain it before serving.
9. Farro
Farro is a whole-grain wheat product that can be used similarly to rice, though it’s much
nuttier in flavor and has a chewy texture. It’s similar to barley but has larger grains. Farro
contains a hefty dose of protein and — like quinoa — is another excellent plant-based
source of this important nutrient. To prepare it, bring one-part dried farro and three parts
waters to a low boil and cook it until the farro is tender.
10. Freekeh
Freekeh — like barley and farro — is a whole grain. It comes from wheat grains that are
harvested while they’re still green. It’s rich in protein and fiber, with a 1/4-cup (40-gram)
dried serving providing 8 and 4 grams of these important nutrients, respectively. Freekeh
is cooked by bringing it to a boil with two parts waters, then reducing the heat to medium
and allowing the grain to simmer until it’s tender.
Bulgur wheat is another whole-wheat substitute for rice. It’s similar in size and
appearance to couscous, but whereas couscous is pasta made from wheat flour, bulgur
wheat is small, cracked pieces of whole-wheat grains. Bulgur wheat is cooked by boiling
one part bulgur wheat and two parts waters, then reducing the heat to medium and
allowing the bulgur to cook until tender. Before serving, drain the excess water and fluff
the cooked bulgur with a fork.

Corn substitute:
- Corn can be found in many dishes, but unfortunately is a bit too high in carbs to be a suitable
option for a low carb or keto diet.
1. Riced broccoli
Like corn, riced broccoli is a great side to any dish, having the ability to be servinged in a
hot or cold cuisine. It’s extremely versatile, with the flexibility of being used in different
dishes such as burritos, bowls, salads, sushi rolls, stir fries and more. One cup of riced
broccoli is a total of 35 calories including a half a gram of fat, six grams of carbs, four
grams of net carbs, two grams of fiber and two grams of protein. These macros make
riced broccoli the perfect low carb substitute to corn.
2. Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower rice is a great low carb substitute to rice, mashed potatoes and even corn.
While it may not have a sweet taste similar to corn, you can still dress it up with some
grass-fed butter and Himalayan Sea salt for the corn-flavored fix (minus the starchy carbs
content). A one-cup serving of this low carb corn alternative contains a total of only 25
calories. These calories include less than a half a gram of fat, around five grams of carbs,
two and a half grams of fiber, two and a half grams of net carbs and two grams of protein.
3. Pork Rinds
One low carb substitute for corn that may be a bit of a surprise to some people would be
pork rinds. Originating from South America, it’s no surprise that corn is a staple in
Mexican cuisines such as tacos and tortillas. One ounce of fried pork skin contains 154
calories including nine grams of fat, zero grams of carbs and 17 grams of protein. Yep,
you read that right — no carbs whatsoever. Pork rinds are made by chopping up cooked
pieces of pork skin and then deep-frying them in lard. While lard may have gotten a bad
reputation over the years, it’s coming back with full force. Lard is stable in high heat
while being high in saturated fats, neutral in flavor, being economically advantageous,
Ingredients:
3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon salt
Procedures:
1. Mix warm water, yeast, and 1/3 cup honey in a large bowl to dissolve. Add 5 cups bread
flour and stir to combine. Let sit for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.
2. Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter, remaining 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups
whole wheat flour. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and gradually knead in
remaining 2 cups whole wheat flour. Knead until dough starts to pull away from the work
surface, adding more whole wheat flour if necessary; dough should be a bit tacky to the
touch, but not too sticky.
3. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dish
towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Grease three 9x5-inch loaf pans. Punch down the dough and divide it into 3 loaves. Place
in the prepared loaf pans and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch,
another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
6. Bake the risen loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown for 25 to 30 minutes, do
not overbake.
7. Lightly brush the tops of the loaves with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter when
done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely.
Ingredients:
1 small banana
1 tablespoon honey
1 pinch salt
Procedures:
1. Mash half the banana in a saucepan. Whisk almond milk, honey, almond extract,
cinnamon, and salt with the mashed banana until smooth; bring to a boil and stir oats into
the mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until the oats are tender
and the moisture has been absorbed to your desired consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer
oatmeal to a bowl.
2. Dice remaining banana half. Top oatmeal with banana and more cinnamon, as desired.
Ingredients:
⅔ cup chopped baby carrots
2 large eggs
Procedures:
1. Assemble Ingredients.
2. Place carrots in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a low boil and cook for 3
to 5 minutes. Stir in peas, then immediately drain in a colander.
3. Heat a wok over high heat. Pour in vegetable oil, then stir in carrots, peas, and garlic; cook
for about 30 seconds. Add eggs; stir quickly to scramble eggs with vegetables.
4. Stir in cooked rice. Add soy sauce and toss rice to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss
again.
Cream Corn
Ingredients:
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen corn kernels, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
Procedures:
1. Combine corn, heavy cream, sugar, butter, salt, and pepper in a skillet over medium
heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter has melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth.
3. Add milk mixture to the skillet and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sauce
is thickened, and corn is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve hot.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped onions
2 ½ cups water
2 tomatoes, diced
Procedures:
2. Then add the water, fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, chicken broth, barley and ground
black pepper.
3. Stir thoroughly and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes,
or until barley is tender.

them great for dips and stews, or of course, refried beans.
Pinto Bean dish that you can incorporate in your meal:
Texas-Style Baked Beans
Texas-style baked beans are sure to be a hit at your next outdoor cookout. Even if you don't have

flavor and a buttery texture.
Fava Bean dish that you can incorporate in your meal:
Ta'ameya (Egyptian Falafel)
Falafel, or ta'ameya as we call it in Egypt, is an all-time favorite street food. In most parts of the

bundle. Place-soaked beans, herb bundle, ham hocks, carrot, onion, and garlic into a large
soup pot or Dutch oven; add 8 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and
simmer until beans and ham hocks are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
3. Turn off heat; remove ham hocks and let cool. When they are cool enough to handle,
remove meat from the bones, discard bones, fat, and skin. Chop ham into small cubes.
Remove and discard herb bundle.
4. Transfer about 3 cups cooked beans along with some cooking liquid into a blender: puree
beans. Pour pureed beans back into soup; add ham and bring back to a simmer over
medium heat. Season with salt and black pepper.
Procedures:
1. Place adzuki beans in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and sauté garlic for about 1 minute.
Mix in kale and 2 tablespoons water. Season with tamari, cumin, and coriander.
Thoroughly blend in adzuki beans. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until kale is
tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
12. Edamame
Edamame are young soybeans which are usually eaten while still inside the pod. These
beans are soft and edible, unlike mature soybeans. These make a tasty appetizer, snack, or salad
topping that is loaded with protein.
