I know this seems like a really stupid question. But I've never done it before. I feel like it's more than just throwing them in the pot and adding water.....
Dont get me wrong. I can cook. For example cooking meats or chicken or fish or even eggs is pretty straightforward. Rice is turnkey and requires no thought. But up until now I have relied on canned beans.
Why can i not keep using canned beans? At a doctor's appointment a few weeks ago and they mentioned that i was at the first stage of hypertension with 130/82. But just at the cusp. Both the doc who saw me and the nurse were white women and they said not to worry about it. But I don't believe for a second that these white women would stick their neck out for me if it wasnt a blatantly obvious risk factor that i could sue for. And no black oroviders in my area are on my insurance plan, but thats another story.
So back to beans.....
Normally I would have three servings of beans everyday in order to get both the fiber and the iron. And i would rely on a can of baked beans. But I just realized that one serving has 20% of the sodium you need in a day, and i am at more than 60% from just beans alone before adding other food !?
I get the vibe that i can eliminate all the sodium by just cooking them the old fashioned way. Which ive never done.
Halp !?
