How many times a week do you eat legumes?

Legumes are in the bean category, right? I don't eat them too often, I hate to say. I probably need to, though. I used to eat them all the time when I went to Weight Watchers. I've just gotten to where I don't care for canned beans any more. I love fresh beans, though. Kathy.

i LOVE DREIED BEANS BUT I'M LIKE U I DON'T COOK THEM VERY OFTEN. oF COURSE THE WAY I COOK THEM WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR U ANYWAY, LOL. My favorite is as we tennessee folks call them are white beans [great northen] but i loke others to. That will work cooking up a binch & freezing them. My dad use to do that. Have a great weekend, Marg.

I love to eat beans and other legumes. My family survived the depression by eating a lot of beans. Even long after the depression Grandma fixed beans at least twice a month. I was surprised to learn that they had more fiber than the grains. right now i'm on a kick of eating blackeyed peas. When I first tasted them they tasted like burnt beans but now I really like the. I also have some northern beans with some kale in the freezer. I like to fix mine in the slow cooker with lots of water for the soup.

I try to use legumes in 3 or 4 meals per week. Plus I keep peanuts and soy nuts around the house for snacking. I can't really say that I have a favorite, maybe because my tastes are so seasonal. In warmer weather I make a lot of hummus, while in the colder weather I make chili with either red beans or black beans. Probably my least favorite is lentils. But, I like all the rest of them.

I eat it seldom only if there is an occasion at home. I will mix it w/ little meat and some spices to make it delicious. Thanks for the idea that it helps with the steady of blood sugar but it also causes to some pain like arthritis and pains of bones. Its good if you not suffer bone pains then you can eat this always but if you have it can also add pains too. So thios can be eaten for those no allergies of beans. Eating too much of it would be fine if you have no abnormalities on the other ares of the body.

Nopes............no idea..! what is legume

legumes are rich in fiber and proteins ,and also contains high levels of potassium and can be used daily.potassium in legumes lowers blood pressure. there will be no cholestrol. we indians use daily garbanzo beans,black beans,peanuts (a little of 2 spoons each)in my daily meal. it is compulsory in my diet and a habit like in my custom.there will be many of my recipes with this black beans,garbanzo beans,kidney beans,yellow lentil,peas ,green gram,horsegram etc and we will take these legumes with rice daily .we will use whole legumes or spilt ones. u can cook in pressure cooker and can use.otherwise soak the legumes overnight and cook little bit and eat. see below matter in the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legume Legumes contain relatively low quantities of the essential amino acid methionine. To compensate, some vegetarian cultures serve legumes along with grains, which are low in the essential amino acid lysine, which legumes contain. Thus a combination of legumes with grains forms a well-balanced diet for vegetarians. Common examples of such combinations are dal with rice by Indians, and beans with corn tortillas, tofu with rice, and peanut butter with wheat bread (as sandwiches) in several other cultures, including Americans. see calories and nutrition of legumes and lentils in the link http://www.calorie-counter.net/calories-in-beans-legumes.htm

My favourite would be lentils, and it's great when you're making pea and ham soup when using lentils and a bacon rib. The flavours are stronger that way. I often eat chickpeas too though because my girls (both are maltese x shih tzus) also LOVE chick peas, so they'll get these as treats more than commercialised doggy treats.

As far as I am concerned, I think I usually eat the legumes everyday. For me, I usually eat the food with so many people together,which means that the food that we usually eat have a variety of foood toghtehr. I like this kind of eating ways with so many people.

I prepare this in our menu at least 3 times a week cooking different varieties. I've also learned that peas and beans are good source of protein and so I always include this for my growing kids.
