Date: November 05, 2007 11:12PM I love rice and beans but I like to make a lot so I don't have to make it every day. I use a foodsaver. should I put the rice in one container and the beans in another or can I mix them together and put them both in one container? Re: rice and beans

But neither of these are raw, maybe you can diminish your need for thse foods with time. I still do beans so I am not criticizing. I would like to get rid of them completely but I am weak.
Sprouting diminishes the needed cooking time. Even if you partially sprout your beans you may find that they need only 2-3 minutes cooking instead of an hour or more for unsprouted. I still cook a pot of beans every day (for the dogs mostly) and rice several times per day (completely for the dogs). Re: rice and beans

golden, you can soak/sprout rice to reduce the cooking time and increase the nutritional content as well. and certainly you can store rice and beans in the fridge together, why not? i think they are fine for 3 days in the fridge. just make sure to cool and then refridgerate that rice right away. i took a food safety course last year and was surprised to learn that cooked rice becomes toxic after no more than two hours at room tempurature.

As you probably know, peanuts are a legume, like beans. They're quite a bit more expensive than beans, but it only takes a few to feel satisfied. They're really, really good if they're soaked overnight (they're ok, but not nearly so good if they're not soaked). The organic JUNGLE peanuts have been found to be aflatoxin-free by labs approved by the USDA. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
