Beans are accessible, affordable and versatile
Over the years, Kortney and Shahla have compiled many recipes using beans. Did you know that there are over 40,000 bean varieties in the world! This makes eating with beans accessible, affordable and versatile in flavor.
Nowadays there are many nutritious canned beans on the market which make throwing together a weeknight meal speedier than ever.
Beans can be used in allergy-friendly baking
You can save the liquid from chickpeas or garbanzo beans also known as aquafaba and use it in allergy-friendly baking. Aquafaba can be whipped to stiff, glossy peaks similar to whipping egg whites.
Aquafaba is a great allergy-friendly alternative to baking with eggs. Use it to make dairy-free, egg-free macarons, gluten-free, vegan cookies and nut-free desserts. You can even use it to make vegan mayo! Here is a helpful guide to Aquafaba.
