Today, many people know about such a bean crop as beans. Meanwhile, initially only the inhabitants of the New World knew about its taste and healing qualities, and only thanks to the Columbus expedition, beans, along with other cultures, immigrated to Europe, and from there came to Russia. For some time this culture was grown in botanical gardens, and only after many years simple peasants were able to grow beans.
Fortunately, today we can do with the beans whatever we wish. It is from it that they cook a delicious soup, make salads, main dishes and much more. And beans also have healing properties that are widely used in folk medicine. For example, green pod juice is used to treat diabetes, and dry bean powder is used to treat burns and eczema.
Bean recipe is a source of healthy nutrition, a storehouse of vitamins and nutrients. In addition, beans give any dish a rich taste, though not many people like it. You can eat green bean pods (for example, asparagus), as well as ripe grains. The latter, before you start cooking something from them, you must definitely soak it overnight. Dishes from canned beans are almost as good as fresh, and some recipes involve the use of canned beans, not raw.
