Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between dried and canned pulses & beans?
Dried pulses offer superior flavour and texture when cooked from scratch, allowing better control over seasoning, but require soaking and longer cooking. Canned versions are pre-cooked for convenience, retaining most nutrients, though they may have added salt – rinse them well to reduce it.
How should I store pulses & beans?
Keep dried pulses in airtight containers in a cool, dark cupboard; they'll last up to a year. Canned beans store unopened in the pantry until the expiry date; once opened, refrigerate in water for up to 5 days or freeze portions.
Are pulses & beans suitable for gluten-free diets?
Yes, all natural pulses and beans are naturally gluten-free, making them perfect for coeliac-friendly recipes. Always check labels on canned products for any additives.
What recipes can I make with these?
Try chickpea curry, lentil bolognese, black bean tacos, or three-bean salad. They're incredibly versatile for soups, stews, salads, and veggie burgers.
