00:00:00.201 --> 00:00:01.985
dried beans or canned beans.

00:00:01.985 --> 00:00:03.652
Which should you choose?

00:00:03.652 --> 00:00:06.078
Today, we're sharing seven reasons.

00:00:06.078 --> 00:00:08.605
We choose dried beans over canned.

00:00:08.605 --> 00:00:10.628
You're not going to want to miss this one.

00:00:11.211 --> 00:00:14.204
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:14.204 --> 00:00:19.527
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:19.527 --> 00:00:24.900
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:31.207
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:31.609 --> 00:00:38.837
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:38.837 --> 00:00:51.061
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.

00:00:51.061 --> 00:00:58.304
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:00:58.304 --> 00:01:02.073
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:02.073 --> 00:01:03.662
You just need the way.

00:01:03.662 --> 00:01:07.269
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:07.269 --> 00:01:15.489
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:20.769
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:20.769 --> 00:01:26.402
Well, hey there, sunshine, we're so glad you're joining us for this episode of Power on Plants.

00:01:26.701 --> 00:01:35.896
We love talking all things whole food, plant-based especially how to make living whole food, plant-based quick, simple and delicious, so that it's sustainable.

00:01:35.896 --> 00:01:43.322
You can feel better naturally and do all those things that you just dream about doing before because you just don't feel like it Now.

00:01:43.322 --> 00:01:46.292
I lived that way so many years ago and I know how it feels.

00:01:46.292 --> 00:01:52.206
If you find yourself in that place where you're dealing with multiple health issues, you can't get rid of the extra pounds.

00:01:52.206 --> 00:01:56.164
You feel like you have to diet to do that or eat in some miserable way.

00:01:56.164 --> 00:01:58.248
It's just not true.

00:01:58.688 --> 00:02:06.462
So today, jared and I are going to share with you about one of our five power foods that we absolutely love legumes.

00:02:06.462 --> 00:02:11.316
Now that is going to be your peas, your lentils and beans.

00:02:11.316 --> 00:02:14.585
So when I talk about it today, I won't be saying legumes over and over again.

00:02:14.585 --> 00:02:19.204
I'm going to say probably beans, but know that I'm referring to all of these things.

00:02:19.204 --> 00:02:24.451
So let's get into the seven reasons why dried beans are such a good choice.

00:02:24.451 --> 00:02:33.429
Reason number one I have seven things planned, but Jared doesn't know what they are, so I'm going to see if he can guess one of the things on the list.

00:02:33.429 --> 00:02:36.828
Let's just play a little game we like to keep it fun and mix it up around here.

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.167
What is one reason I always feel like this comes at my expense?

00:02:40.167 --> 00:02:43.685
Because it does.

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:50.682
It makes it fun for everyone else, so all right, let's get into it.

00:02:50.682 --> 00:02:50.902
It does, so.

00:02:50.902 --> 00:02:54.491
What is a one main reason that you choose dried beans over canned?

00:02:55.954 --> 00:03:02.145
I think it can be less expensive oh, that's a good reason and it is on my list.

00:03:02.145 --> 00:03:08.513
You you know that was number and I didn't put them in any specific order, but that was one of the things on the list.

00:03:08.513 --> 00:03:10.215
Let me see what number I had.

00:03:10.215 --> 00:03:11.762
That number five.

00:03:11.762 --> 00:03:14.527
Dried beans are easier on the budget.

00:03:14.527 --> 00:03:16.772
They're the most cost effective options.

00:03:16.772 --> 00:03:22.090
They're inexpensive and even cost less because you can buy them in bulk too.

00:03:22.090 --> 00:03:26.935
So if you buy them in bulk and you can store them, it is just awesome how much money you can save in bulk too.

00:03:26.935 --> 00:03:32.832
So if you buy them in bulk and you can store them, it is just awesome how much money you can save.

00:03:32.853 --> 00:03:33.657
Such a great reason.

00:03:33.657 --> 00:03:34.280
What makes you think of that?

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.287
That's just one of the reasons we've considered in the past when buying the dried beans.

00:03:37.287 --> 00:03:38.189
We like to try to get organic when we can.

00:03:38.189 --> 00:03:40.236
We find that the dry tends to be less expensive.

00:03:40.236 --> 00:03:50.189
They're also less weight, so you can store more in a smaller area yes and another reason dry over canned is that they do have a very long shelf life too.

00:03:50.631 --> 00:04:01.122
Yes, I know, canned can canned can but just when they're dry and you can keep them sealed nicely, they'll last months even longer oh yeah, longer than months.

00:04:01.182 --> 00:04:04.028
you can keep dried beans for a very long time.

00:04:04.028 --> 00:04:08.990
It's amazing I found them in the back of the pantry at some point along our moving history and gone.

00:04:08.990 --> 00:04:09.900
Oh, we need to cook these.

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:14.441
These have been back here for a while and I've never had any that didn't turn out good when we cook them.

00:04:14.441 --> 00:04:27.644
So cooking them can save you a lot of money, but it also is a great pantry staple to have on hand that you can make in a matter of no time at all when you know how and we're going to get into that a little bit Now.

00:04:27.706 --> 00:04:28.569
is that one on the list?

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.185
I had them both together.

00:04:31.185 --> 00:04:32.088
Can you believe that?

00:04:32.088 --> 00:04:32.148
Oh?

00:04:32.168 --> 00:04:32.247
okay.

00:04:32.247 --> 00:04:43.185
Well, I just had a momentary vision here where when you first said that's number five on the list, I felt like I was on Family Feud, but instead of Family Feud it's family food.

00:04:44.447 --> 00:04:47.151
Welcome to family food.

00:04:47.632 --> 00:04:48.374
That was not on the list.

00:04:48.374 --> 00:04:50.805
Big red X.

00:04:52.161 --> 00:04:52.824
I love it.

00:04:52.824 --> 00:04:55.389
Okay, now let's go to number one.

00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:56.665
We're going back up to number one.

00:04:56.665 --> 00:05:01.990
When you choose dried over canned, you can limit the number of additives.

00:05:01.990 --> 00:05:05.105
Yes, and this just doesn't apply to beans, right?

00:05:05.105 --> 00:05:09.468
This applies to anything that you can buy and cook it yourself over cans.

00:05:09.468 --> 00:05:11.312
You're going to get less additives.

00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:14.146
And I had thought that I didn't say it first.

00:05:14.146 --> 00:05:19.572
But I had thought that, because when you add whatever you add to it, you know what's going in it, right?

00:05:19.572 --> 00:05:25.747
So there's not excessive salt, there are no preservatives, no flavor, quote, unquote, and I'm doing the air quotes enhancers.

00:05:25.747 --> 00:05:29.153
It's just the bean and whatever else you add to spice it up.

00:05:29.694 --> 00:05:41.892
Great points, and I also thought about the fact that if they're sitting in the metal or plastic cans for a long time, certain things can leach into that liquid that is not going to be in your homemade dried beans.

00:05:41.892 --> 00:05:53.492
Now it may seem intimidating if you've never made them before, but it is one of the easiest things to make and once you learn how, it is going to be such a big game changer for you in so many ways.

00:05:53.492 --> 00:05:58.151
Number two why do we choose dried beans over canned?

00:05:58.151 --> 00:06:02.331
You can control the flavors and you can get more flavor.

00:06:02.331 --> 00:06:09.810
Now we're all about bold flavors because when you can get things to taste really, really good, you're never going to feel like you are deprived.

00:06:09.810 --> 00:06:34.343
Think about how many diets you've tried, how many different ways you've tried to get healthy or lose weight or reverse disease, and over time, you might stick with something for a while, but when you get to a place where you're down the road and maybe you've gotten some results, you go back to your old way of living, and I feel like the majority of the time that happens, it's because you don't have the flavors that you love.

00:06:34.343 --> 00:06:36.206
You're missing those flavors.

00:06:36.206 --> 00:06:40.704
The food doesn't taste good, so we want it to taste amazing.

00:06:40.704 --> 00:06:45.887
So when you make the dried beans, you can tailor to your taste preferences what you're making.

00:06:45.887 --> 00:06:52.100
Also, think about this like I'll just use garbanzos or chickpeas, for example, which are the same thing, same bean, different name.

00:06:52.401 --> 00:06:59.726
Now let's say you're making something like brownie batter hummus, so good, chocolatey, delicious dessert dip.

00:06:59.726 --> 00:07:01.514
That will just blow your mind.

00:07:01.514 --> 00:07:08.161
That's in our original cookbook and I'm going to tell you about a couple of other recipes here that you're not going to want to miss out on.

00:07:08.161 --> 00:07:11.348
One's in our thrive cookbook the cookie dough dip.

00:07:11.348 --> 00:07:16.026
Okay, so both of those you're not going to want to miss out on, and they're made with beans.

00:07:16.026 --> 00:07:18.072
You can make them with these chickpeas.

00:07:18.072 --> 00:07:35.942
If I know that I'm going to make either one of these two recipes with those beans, I can plan ahead of time so that doesn't have any funky flavors in them that will clash with that dip, like I'm not going to want to cook my beans with onions and savory seasonings and garlic and things like that.

00:07:35.942 --> 00:07:39.831
If I know I'm putting them in the brownie batter hummus or the cookie dough dip.

00:07:39.831 --> 00:07:40.733
That might be a little weird.

00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:46.444
So for this funky is relative, because we don't think garlic and onion are funky tasting, but it might be in a cookie dough dip.

00:07:46.444 --> 00:07:47.608
It would be bad, that would not be good.

00:07:47.827 --> 00:07:48.670
It would be so bad.

00:07:48.670 --> 00:07:49.925
That's a great point, jared.

00:07:49.925 --> 00:07:54.805
So hearty hummus dip is also in our original cookbook.

00:07:54.805 --> 00:07:59.990
So now you have three great recipes that you need to try from our original and our Thrive cookbook.

00:07:59.990 --> 00:08:05.776
And if you think, where do I get those, you can get those at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:08:05.776 --> 00:08:13.403
But I want you to understand just this example.

00:08:13.403 --> 00:08:16.228
The reason I'm sharing this is you can adjust how you make your beans if you're making them yourself.

00:08:16.228 --> 00:08:34.654
So not only are you able to leave out ingredients that are not good for you, you can leave out ingredients that won't taste good in the recipes you're going to use them in, because a lot of times if you buy beans, they might have like a veggie stock in them or a beef broth, or they have the things like you talked about that you don't want, like salt or oil.

00:08:34.654 --> 00:08:36.046
But here we're talking about flavor.

00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:40.942
I was just thinking salt, because salt might not be good in some of these dessert type dishes that you make with them.

00:08:40.942 --> 00:09:07.484
So with these you can cook it without salt, or and I'm going to show you all how to do these things and save so much- time inside our upcoming course, power on Plants Academy.

00:09:07.904 --> 00:09:15.469
This program is going to change everything for you, but I want you to start getting these results now, before you come in.

00:09:15.469 --> 00:09:17.780
You can start learning some of these things.

00:09:17.780 --> 00:09:35.020
That's why it lights us up to be here sharing them with you, because we don't want you to wait till the course comes out or wait till I go step by step through these things with you, because there's some things that I can explain to you on the podcast and there's some things that you just need to see me do in the kitchen, right, so we can tell you the things here.

00:09:35.020 --> 00:09:46.011
Like this, where you can say oh, you know what, if I did buy the canned beans, they probably would have some flavorings or seasonings in there and it would adjust the flavor profile of what I'm making.

00:09:46.011 --> 00:09:57.423
And that's going to be a big deal if I want it to taste good, because I don't want oniony veggie tasting brownie batter, hummus or cookie dough dip.

00:09:57.423 --> 00:09:58.043
That would be weird.

00:09:58.043 --> 00:10:05.563
But again, if I was making them for a hearty hummus dip, I might put some savory veggies in with it so that my broth tastes good, so it doesn't just taste like beans.

00:10:05.563 --> 00:10:09.923
But now we've got some onions and some garlic and some deliciousness.

00:10:09.943 --> 00:10:19.448
With all these different ways you can season them up and now I can use that to go in my hummus dip, or I can eat a big bowl of beans, or I can take those beans and drain them off.

00:10:19.448 --> 00:10:30.121
They'd still have a good flavor cooked into them, because that liquid which, when you buy them canned, they're going to be cooking it a lot of times in a plain liquid and then adding these things in that you don't want in there.

00:10:30.121 --> 00:10:40.149
We're cooking them and when they go from dried to rehydrated, they're rehydrating with that flavorful liquid, with all those things we put in there.

00:10:40.149 --> 00:10:44.693
So now we have this food that normally wouldn't taste great if you just opened up a can of beans.

00:10:44.693 --> 00:10:47.648
But wow, I cannot believe beans taste this good.

00:10:47.648 --> 00:10:53.327
That is what you're going to come away with when you start cooking dried beans and you learn how to season those puppies up.

00:10:53.327 --> 00:10:58.988
When you learn how to season those puppies up, you are going to be set, so this allows you to control the flavor.

00:10:59.089 --> 00:11:04.267
Reason three that we like dried beans is you can choose your preferred level of firmness.

00:11:04.267 --> 00:11:07.182
A lot of times when you get them they're really mushy.

00:11:07.182 --> 00:11:11.682
But then there are other brands you buy and you just think they're too hard, they didn't cook them long enough.

00:11:11.682 --> 00:11:14.807
You get to decide when you cook your own beans.

00:11:14.807 --> 00:11:17.921
Number four this one's hard for me to talk about.

00:11:17.921 --> 00:11:21.567
It really is, but there are things you need to know that you're just not hearing anywhere else.

00:11:21.567 --> 00:11:26.235
Okay, so in canned foods, yeah, I'm going there.

00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:27.523
I know where you're headed with this.

00:11:27.523 --> 00:11:29.870
We're not afraid to talk about this stuff.

00:11:29.870 --> 00:11:31.662
We don't shy away from the hard subjects.

00:11:32.222 --> 00:11:35.249
No, okay, so this is the truth of the matter.

00:11:35.249 --> 00:11:43.919
Things that are canned are canned in factories, and factories have bugs and they have rodents.

00:11:44.402 --> 00:11:44.842
Critters.

00:11:44.842 --> 00:11:47.919
Critters is a great way to put it okay.

00:11:48.549 --> 00:12:01.184
So there are guidelines that are set up that those foods that you buy that are canned or jarred can only have a certain number of rodent hairs or critter poop allowed in them.

00:12:01.184 --> 00:12:02.866
That's as far as I'm going.

00:12:02.866 --> 00:12:04.192
I'm not going any farther into this.

00:12:04.192 --> 00:12:07.461
I just want you to understand anytime you can cook fresh.

00:12:07.461 --> 00:12:09.234
Am I telling you don't ever eat canned?

00:12:09.234 --> 00:12:12.623
No, I'm not, because sometimes it's incredibly convenient.

00:12:12.623 --> 00:12:24.096
But what I'm telling you is just be aware that you may be getting more in there than what you bargained for, and this may be one of the reasons it tastes a little better when you cook it.

00:12:24.096 --> 00:12:27.524
I don't know, I'm just throwing that out there.

00:12:28.250 --> 00:12:36.341
You have the ability, when the beans are dry, to wash them off, give them a little rinse, maybe even inspect them, because you can visually see them as they're dry.

00:12:36.629 --> 00:12:37.712
Okay, that's the other thing.

00:12:37.712 --> 00:12:38.916
I wasn't going to go into that either.

00:12:38.916 --> 00:12:43.033
But if you pre-soak the beans, it really is not a bad idea.

00:12:43.033 --> 00:12:45.799
It's not required for nutrition, it's just not.

00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:56.278
But if you pre-soak them, if there are any bugs, because bugs can bore into beans we have bought large bags of bulk beans before and you can look at them and they don't look like they have any critters in them.

00:12:56.278 --> 00:13:00.236
But when you soak them, you find out whether or not there are critters in there, because they'll come out.

00:13:00.557 --> 00:13:03.663
Give it about what 15 minutes in the water to soak.

00:13:04.070 --> 00:13:05.275
I'd say 20 or 25.

00:13:05.275 --> 00:13:06.253
You should be able to see.

00:13:06.253 --> 00:13:09.778
If there are critters, they'll come out, and so you'll see them floating on top of the water.

00:13:09.778 --> 00:13:14.296
So it is a good thing to soak your beans and to cook your own beans.

00:13:14.296 --> 00:13:20.163
This reason alone is enough for me to not really want to buy them, although we do buy them from time to time.

00:13:20.283 --> 00:13:21.566
That's why I'm not telling you, don't?

00:13:21.566 --> 00:13:25.655
We have kept a few cans on hand for emergencies.

00:13:25.655 --> 00:13:27.649
We come in from a long day and we want to make something fairly quickly.

00:13:27.649 --> 00:13:29.115
Then we'll open up the cans.

00:13:29.549 --> 00:13:36.802
But beans can be so fast to make we're going to go into that in a minute, so really, time shouldn't be an issue, with just a little bit of forethought.

00:13:36.802 --> 00:13:38.793
All right, so we're now.

00:13:38.793 --> 00:13:41.059
I'm gonna be done with number four.

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:41.520
That's it.

00:13:41.520 --> 00:13:45.658
I'm glad we didn't make that one number two, that would have been so gross.

00:13:45.658 --> 00:13:46.542
Okay, moving on.

00:13:46.542 --> 00:13:49.094
Number five Jared's talked about it.

00:13:49.094 --> 00:13:57.517
Dried beans are easier on the budget and I'm going over it again just because we're here and the shelf life is better, the foods last longer.

00:13:57.517 --> 00:14:00.602
Reason number six it's fast and easy.

00:14:00.602 --> 00:14:04.500
That's where we were fast and easy, quick to make them this way.

00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:06.690
Okay, so don't think it's going to take you forever.

00:14:06.831 --> 00:14:09.544
When I grew up, we used to make beans on the stovetop.

00:14:09.544 --> 00:14:11.591
There's so many other ways that you can enjoy beans.

00:14:11.591 --> 00:14:14.975
One of my favorite is the Instant Pot.

00:14:14.975 --> 00:14:15.315
Why?

00:14:15.315 --> 00:14:16.615
Because it is fast.

00:14:16.615 --> 00:14:20.340
So once you soak and make sure there's, I mean you could do that.

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:27.436
You could get home, dump some beans into a pot of water, go, do something for 20, 30 minutes, come back and check it If they're good to go.

00:14:27.436 --> 00:14:28.503
Just give them a good rinse.

00:14:28.503 --> 00:14:40.863
You put them in your Instant Pot with your seasonings, fill it with water and really the hardest bean and the largest bean can be done in like an hour, 10 in an Instant Pot and that's a huge instant pot filled for our whole family.

00:14:40.863 --> 00:14:41.672
It's an eight quart.

00:14:41.672 --> 00:14:44.980
So if you're cooking smaller batches it may not even take that long.

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:47.635
You can do a slow cooker all day if you leave in the morning.

00:14:47.635 --> 00:14:49.601
I mean, there's just so many ways.

00:14:49.601 --> 00:14:55.490
I'm not going to go into everything here, but what I want you to understand is this can be so fast and easy.

00:14:55.871 --> 00:15:14.092
And if you don't have an instant pot, that really is a good investment, because it's one of those where, even if it takes about an hour, you set it, hit, go, you walk away and then, whenever it's done, at least hours beeps when it's done, so then we know we've not just been tending to it on the stovetop, making sure it doesn't boil dry, doesn't boil over With the Instant Pot.

00:15:14.092 --> 00:15:16.038
You really can just set it and forget it.

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:24.770
Exactly, it, exactly.

00:15:24.770 --> 00:15:27.236
And the seventh reason why we choose dried beans over canned is it is such an easy way to get your greens.

00:15:27.236 --> 00:15:35.616
Such an easy way to get your greens we can talk about that more inside Podcast Insiders Experience and I can tell you all about how to do that.

00:15:35.616 --> 00:15:37.642
It is so simple.

00:15:37.642 --> 00:15:45.039
When you learn how to get greens into your beans in a way that you don't really notice, you can bump up the nutritional value even more.

00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.735
It will blow your mind.

00:15:46.914 --> 00:15:47.417
Powerhouse.

00:15:47.697 --> 00:15:48.620
It's a game changer.

00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:51.379
So here we have seven of the reasons.

00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:52.615
Are these all of the reasons?

00:15:52.615 --> 00:15:53.298
Absolutely not.

00:15:53.298 --> 00:15:56.654
I could keep going on and on, but I want to stop here.

00:15:56.654 --> 00:15:58.056
I don't want to overwhelm you.

00:15:58.056 --> 00:16:14.491
What, jared, and I want you to take away from this is these seven reasons and think, is there one that's just important enough to me to keep me from only eating canned beans, to make me want to try cooking my own at home, if you've never tried it before?

00:16:14.491 --> 00:16:26.682
Because once you taste the flavors, once you realize that you can limit those additives, once you limit the other stuff that's in there that you don't want in there, and understand that it's, what are we going to say?

00:16:26.909 --> 00:16:28.176
We'll call them impurities.

00:16:28.850 --> 00:16:30.193
Limit the impurities.

00:16:30.193 --> 00:16:30.955
I love that.

00:16:30.955 --> 00:16:50.134
And when you realize how much easier they are on the budget, how simple they are to store, and when you see how fast and easy it is, and add to all those things the fact that getting more greens is super simple when you make your own beans, you are going to be amazed and fall in love with this powerhouse food.

00:16:50.134 --> 00:16:55.554
This is why it's one of the top foods that we recommend you eat If you want to get healthy.

00:16:55.554 --> 00:16:56.938
There's so many reasons for that.

00:16:56.938 --> 00:17:01.692
If you think what are the reasons, all you need to do is come into our free group.

00:17:01.692 --> 00:17:02.836

You will not believe the ideas you'll get, even if you listen to every single episode.

00:17:25.496 --> 00:17:32.699
You know, one of our clients told me and she's become a dear friend, I mean just absolutely precious.

00:17:32.699 --> 00:17:33.750
She was telling me the other day.

00:17:33.750 --> 00:17:34.534
She said you know what?

00:17:34.534 --> 00:17:40.134
I listen to the podcast episodes, and even if I'm listening to one that I've heard before.

00:17:40.134 --> 00:17:41.098
I get new ideas.

00:17:41.098 --> 00:17:42.997
Well, this is the same thing.

00:17:42.997 --> 00:17:48.796
It's like you can't possibly remember everything and try everything because you remember by doing so.

00:17:48.796 --> 00:17:54.160
If you just take away the one thing and do it, you can go back another time and listen and take away another thing.

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:59.982
