WESTBRAE NATURAL Organic Black Lentils - No Salt Added. These are what I use in a pinch. I find them at my neighborhood grocery. 😊
I’d say eat a variety if you can find it! All beans and lentils are tasty and each has unique flavor and texture.
Interestingly enough, the little black lentils are not only my favorite, but the ones I eat daily. Glad to know I picked a winner....
I live in the US and I buy beluga lentils at my local Target. It comes in plastic packaging, already cooked, just the lentils and minimal water, no other ingredients. They're delicious!! 😋

Why would you buy canned beluga lentils when they cook so easily? Better to buy them dry, since that would be vastly cheaper, right? No added salt concerns that way either.

Thanks. I thought it is a lentil, small with a big surface area, but never saw baluga lentils. Thank you for your informative, short videos!
My Parental background is Cypriot, mum used to cook various beans/lentils in so many various ways. My favorite was Black eyed beans boiled, drained and put to side. then chopped onions and a bell pepper fried lightly, in virgin olive oil then the black eyed beans in the same pan with spinach a little water, reduce heat cover and simmer for 10mins, it's ready to serve with seasoning to taste and fresh lemon juice, really stunning & healthy.
I LOVE and always eat beans and lentils ❤️
I mix the different beans (usually 2-3 different ones, but sometimes more) and eat it that way.
In the US, or anywhere else in the world if you are serious about eating beans and lentils, a stovetop or better even electric pressure cooker is worth the investment. Then it’s super cheap to cook your own and no worries about sodium content.

Canola oil is good too. That also works for heating, which doesn‘t work for flaxseed oil. Still delicious in non-cook recepies or sauces.
I think the most convenient, easiest to digest and versitle it's the lentil weather it's red, brown or green or Baluga lentils which are black mostly
Red Kidney Beans! My favourite ones!
Variety is the key, your gut microbiome loves variety & a healthy gut microbiome is the key to health. in fact studies you should aim to eat 30 different plant based foods a week to maximise your gut microbiome. Sounds a lot but includes herbs & spices & you'd be surprised how quickly you can reach this figure.

Just a note of caution concerning salt. Of course a lot of salt is very bad for you. Yet, it is something we need. I've known several elderly people enter the hospital with very low levels of sodium due to their concern over salt intake. We should strive to stay under the recommended daily salt limits, yet we shouldn't be scared to death of it either. I rinse all my canned beans thoroughly and never have a high sodium level in my blood work.
Green Moong bean it has the most protein and antioxidants
The very best bean is a bean medley, that way you’re getting a wide variety of nutrition. :-D

@@GenZDoomer Different foods (with protein) have different ratios of the 8 amino acids you need to build a protein. So It „counts“ the amino acid with the least amount, comparatively. BUT different foods have different ratios. So you can combine with another food that compliments it (has much of the one the other has little of). Legumes usually work well with whole grains.

To address Dr. Greger's statement all beans are good, keep in mind that people with kidney issues should avoid white beans (navy, white, great northern) soybeans and black beans due to high oxalate content . Knowing which foods are high in oxalates(spinach, beets etc will help people prepare a healthy plate of food to avoid kidney issues down the road in old age.

I’ll eat large swaths of Garbanzo Beans. Always. Love their base taste too GIMME THEM CHICKIES!!!
The best bean for me is soy but have to watch I don’t have it more than every other day as I am at goal weight and soy is a bean higher in fat, good fat but when I gain weight, have less. I use tofu the most. What is good is soy controls some post menopause symptoms and feel those subside when I eat a serving. Whole soy beans do well too, boiled up from dry, ordered off the internet. Should prepare some today. As my mother and sister both died of breast cancer, even though both died past menopause when these cancers are not thought to be genetic, the doctors do not know the power of plant-based eating. They will not allow me to take HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). My mother and sister were both obese, I was, lost the excess weight on the WFPB diet. I am at goal. BMI of 29! I exercise daily, no high lipids or blood pressure. When weather allows I walk 5+ miles a day. On a physical fitness score I rank at 90%. Better than many women 1/2 my age. Alas I have blonde hair and blue eyes, so I qualify for being a moron. That is why I figured how to manage without their help because someone is being stupid here, I just don’t see where it is me. My grandmother had hot flashes into her 90s. But soy keeps these under control for me. I do eat most all other legumes, just not peanuts. Good protein, too much fat!
I love the short stories 😉

Chickpeas and lentils
important to note is that if u cant do fodmaps..then lentils (as well as fruit) r just about the worst stuff u can put into urself however they become viable again if u ferment them - not because of the fake/irrelevant knowledge regarding the lactic acid bacteria that the fermentation process causes (this fermentation would also happen in the body...) but rather that the fermenting decreases the fodmap content very significantly (the fermentation then happens inside the fermentation vessel...instead of ur guts)
Yum yum yum 🫘
20-30 minutes ?? That’s not like pasta. That’s not easy. Most lentil will cook in 20-30 minutes so to say the black belugas are quick like pasta is certainly misleading. Pasta ranges from 10-15 minutes.
Kidney beans! They’re Alkaline!!
Honestly a mix of black kidney and navy beans along with some walnut and mushroom vegan meat is fire (I just used a low sodium taco seasoning mix because sometimes it’s just easier to we’ll do it the easy way)
