How to Use:

• Rinse the Beans: Begin by rinsing the dry yellow kidney beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
• Soaking (Optional but Recommended): To reduce cooking time and improve digestibility, soak the beans overnight in plenty of water. If you don't have time to soak, you can use the quick soak method:

                           Bring the beans and water to a boil for 2-3 minutes.

                          Remove from heat, cover, and let them sit for 1-2 hours.

• Cooking the Beans:

         Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot with fresh water (about 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of beans).

         Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender and soft.

        Alternatively, use a pressure cooker to speed up the cooking process. This will reduce cooking time to 25-30 minutes.

• Seasoning: You can add garlic, onions, bay leaves, or spices like cumin, paprika, or turmeric to the cooking water to enhance the flavor of the beans.
• Use in Recipes: Once the beans are cooked, they are ready to be incorporated into various dishes:
• For soups or stews: Add cooked beans to your soup or stew base for extra texture and nutrition.
• For curries or dals: Include cooked yellow kidney beans in curry or dal recipes, allowing them to absorb the rich spices.
• For salads: Toss the cooked beans into a fresh salad for added protein and fiber.
• For side dishes: Sauté the beans with garlic and olive oil for a simple, flavorful side dish.
• Storage: If you have leftover cooked yellow kidney beans, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
