Beans will re-hydrate to at least 2-3 times their dry sizes, so start with a large enough pot. Add 10 cups cold water for each pound of beans. Bring the water to boiling and simmer 4-hour soak is ideal, beans may be soaked 1-24 hours. Drain off the water and rinse the beans. Start with fresh water before cooking. A longer soaking time (up to 4 hours) allows a greater amount of gas-causing properties to dissolve in the water and improves beans222 digestibility. Soaking and then discarding the water, then soaking again, also helps. After soaking, simmer beans in fresh water for about two hours, or until tender, adding additional water if needed. Add seasonings during cooking. A tablespoon of oil or butter added during cooking reduces foaming and boil-overs. T o prevent split skins, simmer and stir beans gently. Avoid

ents, roughage has started to get some respect. The problem is that most Americans don''t get enough fiber to realize its potential benefits. The typical American eats only about 11 grams of fiber a day, according to the American Dietetic Association. Health experts recommend a minimum of 20 to 30 grams of fiber a day for most people. The Food and Drug Administration has recognized fiber''s importance by requiring it to be listed on the Nutrition Facts panel of food labels along with other key nutrients and calories. And, based on scientific evidence, the agency has approved four claims related to fiber intake and lowered risk of heart disease and cancer. One claim states that dietary soluble fiber, when part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. In 1997, FDA approved this claim for certain foods containing whole oats and in 1998, for certain foods containing psyllium seed husk. The other three claims,

While storage time does not affect nutrient value, beans may require longer cook times as they age. Cooked beans, if chilled, will keep for up to 036ve days, in a covered container.

It is the insoluble fiber content of beans that help to keep blood sugars stable by raising blood sugars less significantly than other foods. Insoluble fiber also helps to keep us regular and reduce the risk of constipation and maybe even some cancers. It is the soluble fiber that helps to lower LDL-cholesterol and protect our heart. Because of their plant protein content, they provide us with the amino acids that we need to build and repair muscles and assure proper muscle development. Beans nourish our muscles with the other nutrients that they contain like folacin and minerals.
