All praise the beans!

Post by jacob »

First intermittent fasting overtook six meals per day grazing as the healthier alternative. Now beans and lentils are recommended over meat and potatoes. What will they think of next?! :shock:

No wait, maybe all CFPs will suggest saving 50%+ to retire before 50 or at least reduce stress from money problems. Wouldn't that be neat?

Haha, at last. An informed publication about healthy non expensive food! Also which food to avoid as real as the plague.

@jacob’s most short other ere-message save 50% to be able to retire [of stress] at your 50 birthday is priceless!

Bryan Johnson has been trying to steal from you the title King of the Lentil. He favors black beluga lentils because they have anthocyanins like those found in blueberries. The caviar of lentils. They cost a lot more than your plain old brown lentils.

I read a book once where the guy was arguing that if I scale down and stop the stuff race with my neighbours, I can then within my remit get the best stuff available and be alright!

Black beluga lentils are my favourite too, but I actually get them at a price just some few dozens pence more than (and sometimes equal to!) my 2.29 Pound Sterling per kilo brown lentil staple. The shop owner is Syrian - I hope he will stick around given what's going on these days.

My favorite dish on earth is chana masala, made with chickpeas/garbanzo beans. I recommend everyone try it at a variety of Indian restaurants for true cooking inspiration. It’s also like medicine for the digestive tract.

I'm also a huge fan of chana masala, and I keep a 500g spice mix for chana masala (I just use MDH which costs around $8-10 for 500g) in my pantry. I pressure cook some chickpeas, toss in a couple onions / tomatoes, some of the chana masala mix, and you have an incredible meal for a braindead amount of cooking. Making the mix myself cost way more money and way more effort, and its faster to make it at home than to order from a local restaurant these days (though we do have a killer Indian food restaurant within 15 mins walk). Highly recommend this approach, and chana masala.
