How to Use:

• Rinse the Beans: Rinse the Pearl Yellow Beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
• Soaking (Optional but Recommended): To reduce cooking time and improve digestibility, soak the beans in plenty of water for 6-8 hours or overnight. Alternatively, 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 fully cooked.

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

• Seasoning: Add seasonings like garlic, onion, bay leaves, or spices like cumin, paprika, or turmeric to the cooking water for enhanced flavor.
• Use in Recipes: Once the beans are cooked, they can be incorporated into various dishes:
• For soups or stews: Add the cooked beans to your soup or stew base for extra protein and texture.
• For curries or dals: Include the beans in curry or dal recipes, where they absorb rich spices and flavors.
