Save $$$ and your health with beans!
Good choice! Beans are extremely healthy and economical. A 15 oz. heat n’ eat can of beans cost about $1.25 and serves 3 people. It has just 3 ingredients: Beans, water and salt. At $0.42 per diner, you get 27% of your daily fiber requirements and 7 grams of protein. And there are now BHT free packages for canned beans. Dry beans are even cheaper and healthier if you prepare your own. A 16 oz. bag of dry black beans goes for $1.25 and makes for 12 servings. That’s just over 10 cents per serving! Here are some tips on how to save money and stay healthy with beans. 1. Use Dry beans. They're one of the most affordable foods out there. Soak overnight, boil until soft and you're good to go. Check the package for instructions. 2. Use beans to enrich other foods. Add beans to rice, soup and pasta sauce for extra protein and iron. You can even add them to ready-made frozen veggie mixes or stir fry meals. 3. Reduce the amount of meat in recipes and add beans instead when making chili, stir fries and pasta. 4. Take any meat-based recipe and turn it vegetarian by substituting beans - red beans tend to work well in this capacity. 5. Take a bean of your choice (garbanzos and white beans are popular) and use it on any salad - including pasta salad. 6. Sneaky beans! Add cooked white (cannellini) beans to potatoes and mash as usual to sneak some beans into you and your family's diet. Enjoy!
