You think I don’t know about beans?! I almost died in freshman year at Biffmoore because I ate a bag of uncooked beans. Dry Beans!
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 months ago
15?! Ridiculous! We need to breed one universal bean that covers everyone’s use cases.
JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Result: there are 16 beans.
Etterra@discuss.online 6 months ago

YES! Make it with vegetable stock (and the vegan “ham” flavoring included) and it’s especially tasty.
I gotta make this again soon

I fucking love these.
I just throw the seasoning packet away, never used it at all. Just use the bean mix itself, it’s really good, HOWEVER be aware that some of the “beans” are actually lentils, and they break down into a mush faster than others.
If you cook the beans a long time in your soup as I do then it gets REALLY bad looking. We call it “ugly soup” because it’s ugly AF but DELICIOUS.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Why would you find a rock in beans? Has someone even mentioned rocks?
Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Most agricultural products go through screening to remove unwanted materials, but these systems can miss items that closely resemble the food in size and appearance. For example, I once bit into a rock that looked exactly like an almond in a bag of almonds. While it’s a rare occurrence, it’s still important to stay cautious. If something like this happens, contact the company and provide the product’s serial or lot number. This helps them trace where and when it was packaged and check if there was a problem with the screening process.
skisnow@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
“15 bean soup is great but you gotta check the packet for rocks” is the most American thing I’ve read today.
pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Lots of bags of dry beans have rocks. Little black pebbles usually, like coarse sand.
Some brands have them more often than others but you can easily break a tooth on them so I always toss them on the counter and scoot them around to check.
bigfondue@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Every bag of dried beans I’ve seen tells you to inspect them for rocks, since they are an agricultural product. I’ve never found one though.
ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 6 months ago
I’ve found lots of rocks in bags of beans over the years, could be a regional or economic thing too (just as a point of reference, I grew up really poor in the South). As a kid I remember pouring them out on a backing sheet to sort them, little did I realize I’d end up doing something similar as a teen with an AOL CD tin.
Doolbs@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I throw away the seasoning packet as well. I use a couple smoked ham hocks as my seasoning.
So, so tasty.
WhoIsTheDrizzle@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I do as well in addition to the seasoning packet. I’ve grown to really like the seasonig with it. The smoked ham takes it to another level entirely, though.
Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
I once forgot about it in a crock pot using the fast cook method and basically boiled the whole thing into mush. It made for a delicious bean dip.
pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Nice! Maybe I’ll try that. What else did you have in the pot?
FrostyTrichs@crazypeople.online 6 months ago
That parallels my experience. Great bean mix, haven’t found a stone yet. The seasoning pack included sounds gross to me so I bin it. This mix is magic in an instant pot with your own mix of spices and whatever liquid base you like. Takes just over an hour to go from prepping to eating.
matti@sopuli.xyz 6 months ago
Care to share what you do for seasoning instead? Every time I’ve tried (not many) it comes out disappointing.
pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Sure!
TLDR: mirepoix, garlic, ground mustard, ground thyme, basil, salt, pepper, bacon
I cut a pack of decent quality bacon into strips and start it a sizzlin
Then, dice equal parts carrot, onion, and celery (mirepoix) while the bacon is cooking
I crank the heat and sautee the mirepoix in the pan with the bacon, then I add the beans with the soak water and some salt (don’t go crazy, the bacon has salt too, and I add cheese at serving also)
Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer until the beans are mostly cooked, stirring and adding water as needed.
When things are cooked pretty well throw in a diced tomato (or a can), a bulb of crushed garlic, ground mustard, dried basil, and ground thyme. Let it cook a bit until the flavors develop, then adjust seasoning, salt, pepper etc. Sorry I don’t have measurements, I eyeball everything. I cook the soup a long time so by the end it will stick if you don’t stir fairly frequently because the lentils and some beans have dissolved. I like the soup thicc so that also contributes to it sticking.
The thyme and basil are the stars here, the thyme especially.
I usually eat it with some rice and some grated Monterey Jack cheese on top.
I use jasmine rice and put a small amount of olive oil in the pan, then crush a garlic clove per cup of rice I’m cooking and sautee gently (don’t burn it!) as soon as the garlic has cooked a bit I add a cup of dry rice to the pan and stir it around real good, add the water, and salt it. Rice should not be bland, motherfuckers!
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I found a rock in a bag of beans twice in my life. My mother found one when I was a cold and made sure I saw why we look through them first.
Then as an adult. Once. I got to go AHA and grab it.
I’ve seen blood in chicken eggs much more commonly!
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Maybe the screen process wasn’t as good when mother had to look. Small rocks are just going to be something that gets picked up occasionally if they’re being machine harvested.

We’ve had 15 bean soup on rotation for many years. Our recipe is yummy, feeds a large family for several meals, and it’s definitely affordable.
Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
I had to buy beans at Walmart the other day… I don’t normally get them there. I was looking for white beans. They had this brand in both fhe 15soup pack, and they also had a white bean pack. I saw in the white bean pack, they add “ham flavoring”. I was so grossed out, what is ham flavoring in dried beans? I had to buy the great calue brand. No ham flavoring added.
bigfondue@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It is probably just a packet of seasoning. The 15 bean version comes with a seasoning packet inside. They don’t add it to the beans.
the_tab_key@lemmy.world 6 months ago

Triangle numbers for me (1,3,6,10,15,21,28…). It’s a good mix, but you run out of beans eventually.

kadup@lemmy.world 6 months ago
People are joking around, but mixing different beans is important.
Beans are a good source of protein, but they’re incomplete - no single bean will provide all essential aminoacids.
So mix them up and you end up with complete protein.
quick_snail@feddit.nl 6 months ago
That’s misinformation that was published in the 1950s and has long been discredited, for many reasons
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 months ago
so one of those Bean Council creeps got to you too, eh?
kadup@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Oh cool, I guess they forgot to inform the entire physiology department of the university I got my biology degree in, and the periodics where they publish their research.
usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Focusing on complete proteins is largely unhelpful 99.9% of cases. Unless you are eating a exclusively singular source of protein for all meals and snacks it’s going to be not practically relevant. You don’t need to get all the amino acids at the same meal - just at some point in the day. And even thing you don’t think of as protein sources can be enough to make something complete. For instance, just adding rice is enough to make beans complete
It’s also not the case that the beans don’t have all the amino acids, they do, it’s just less on certain ones. Which is why it can often take so little to make something complete protein. Complete is just a bar of “does it have this specific threshold of the amino acids”, not does it contain them at all
kadup@lemmy.world 6 months ago
You don’t need all amino acids on the same meal, that’s true.
If you’re a vegan, managing protein intake is important. Making sure you get complete proteins is overlooked.
Your comment is a dangerous simplification and excludes the fact that indeed many people rely on specific, cheap, vegetable sources of protein as their only protein.
As for rice, while it will indeed complete most bean types, the amount of protein per 100g is very low.
Maeve@kbin.earth 6 months ago
It's delicious, prepared with or without the recommended canned tomatoes.
For those complaining about gas, properly soaked and a potato added (not eaten) helps a lot. Cooking to mush or a bit of soda works but messes with the flavor.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
potato added (not eaten)
I’m sorry, what? You add potato to the soup, then remove it before serving like a bay leaf?
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Do you eat beans regularly?
I’ve tried every remedy I’ve heard of to fix beans and none of them have worked. I’ve become convinced that people who eat beans regularly have different gut flora which properly digest the oligosaccharides without producing gas, but I can’t prove it.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Have you tried Beano, or a similar pill with alpha-galactosidase as the active ingredient? Taking half a dose before a meal and the other halfway through can help a lot.
Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
When I boil my beans, I add bay leaf to the water. I think it helps.
But I made a white bean, cabbage, bacon, chop tomato soup for dinner last night, no gas. My husband didn’t have gas…
I didn’t do the bay leaf thing this time, so idk. I think beans just have hella fiber, and idk if your from the US or not, but I’ve read a few times over the years, many people here don’t get enough fiber day to day in the states.
I think the gas has more to do with folks who don’t often eat high fiber foods. When you then, do, it gives you issues.
You’re probably at least somewhat right, if you have beans often, they digest more easily. I had guessed it was because they have high fiber though. It also could have to do with eating under cooked beans, which is never a good idea.
