Eat better – reach for legumes!
Stacks of dry products with a long shelf life are piled up in your storage, and you don’t know what to cook with them? Reach for legumes! Of course, if you are not struggling with intestinal problems or increased sensitivity to this kind of food.
Legumes:
- they are a source of carbohydrates, but to a much lesser extent than flour products or cereals,
- different types of beans, lentils or chickpeas have many culinary uses,
- they have a long shelf life, so it’s worth to have them just in case of emergency.
