Soaking & sprouting
To prepare beans (like cannellini or Great Northern beans) for optimal nutrient content while ensuring they are flavorful and salad-ready, follow these steps:
1. Soak the Beans (if using dried beans):
Soaking not only softens the beans but also helps reduce antinutrients like phytic acid, which can interfere with nutrient absorption.
Steps:
Rinse 1 cup of dried white beans thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Place beans in a large bowl and cover them with about 3–4 inches of water.
Soak overnight (8–12 hours). If short on time, use the quick soak method: boil the beans in water for 2 minutes, then let them sit for 1 hour.
