When I was growing up, we always grew Crowder peas. I have neve seen anyone talk about them. They are delicious. I grew up in a family where beans were cooked at least once weekly. They could be pintos or large limas usually but occasionally we would have navy beans or small lima beans. Beans, beans, the musical fruit. They more you eat, the more you toot.
Bambara peanut is used to make okpa. Plus in west Africa the black eyed peas have a cousin a kind of brown beans known as honey beans. Probably the sweetest beans on the planet. Taste like honey
Cargamonto & borolotti are different from cranberry beans. They’re the same species but are different variants. It’s a difference that matters quite a bit.
I learned, the hard way, the need to soak beans and remove the coating before making a meal with them. I wanted to make chili but I hated the red beans in the chili I had as a child. I found some small (raw) beans at a farmers market. I knew I had to soak them and cook them before adding the to the rest of the ingredients. I was unprepared for the smell! I thought that I had gotten some bad beans. The smell only got worse the longer I cooked them. It wasn't until a friend of mine told me that the reason the beans were soaked and rinsed repeatedly was to remove the coating from the beans. It was the coating that produced the smell. Needless to say, the chili was a disaster. I use canned beans now.
OMG I fken LOVED this video SOOOOOOOO much <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 You just helped me choose some new plants for my backyard garden. The flowers of some of these beans are absolutely STUNNING!!!
A few lines of caution about some species of chickpea? 'Lathyrism' is an incurable nerve damage syndrome that happens when too large a fraction of the diety, for too long, is (some types of) chickpeas. Not to warn anyone off, a can or two a week won't cause it.
* Black beans * 😳 Kidney beans 🫘 IF eaten raw can send you to the hospital real fast. Also soak overnight, drain, rinse and cook on high heat. Never from raw in a slow cooker. Never. * Pinto beans, great to make refried beans. Grow well in hot dry climates. A true comfort food. * Lima beans. Should always be cooked untill real soft. A nutrition powerhouse. 😳 NEVER eat them raw, that's extremely dangerous for animals and humans alike. * Canolini beans. Very Italian. Related to kidney beans. NEVER ever eat them raw. Need to be cooked untill creamy. * Cranberry beans. Definitely beautifu,l until cooking them. Good food. Great in soups and stews. * Fava beans. 😳 Some people, from certain ethnicities, have a genetic condition, where it is nearly deadly to eat these. Can be tested as babies for this condition.
