Legumes are a diverse family of plants whose fruits are enclosed in pods, offering a powerhouse of nutrition and versatility in the kitchen. Commonly referred to as beans, lentils, and peas, they are known for their earthy flavor and substantial, sometimes slightly mealy texture. These edible seeds can range in color from creamy white to deep black, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Legumes are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals, making them a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets, as well as a healthy addition to any meal.

Dried legumes should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry. Properly stored dried legumes can last for years. Cooked legumes should be refrigerated promptly in an airtight container and are best used within 3-5 days. For longer storage, cooked legumes can be frozen for several months; spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag to prevent clumping.
