It has 15 different types of beans in it and it can be bought pre packaged. 15 different beans!
I'm unemployed and involuntarily vegan for health reasons. Dried mixed beans, brown rice, and frozen vegetables are keeping me alive.
Wait until you hear about fruit!
I'm a scientist. Beans are a fruit, of the musical variety.
I found a study that disagrees. However the sample size is pretty small
I prefer 239 bean soup. Yes, it must be exactly 239 beans, not even one bean more.
If 239 bean soup had even just one more bean, it would be too farty bean soup.
With an average-sized spoon, every spoonful could be a different type of 6 bean soup—it’s like getting five thousand soups in one!
15 choose 6 == 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 /(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) == 5005
Wow, I did the math thinking, no, hoping you were wrong, but 5k is right on the money. You must have done the math. Good show sir
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.
Edit: I've NEVER found a rock in these also, not once in the dozens of bags, maybe hundreds, I've used.
I found a rock in a bag of beans twice in my life. My mother found one when I was a child 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!
There's way more than fifteen beans in there. I'd say there's at least like 200.
It’s just 50 servings of the 15 bean soup!
Give me a semi–plausible reason why these beans need to be unmixed into 15 separate piles and I will give it all of my focus.
i guess to cook each of the beans just the perfect amount of time
There is no way these beans all have the same cooking time
Just cook them longer. You can't over-cook beans.
Not universally true but in the context of soup yeah fair point
This and a $.99 thing of chorizo and some rice and we have dinner for a week.
For those times when you look at a stream bed and get hungry
YES! Make it with vegetable stock (and the vegan "ham" flavoring included) and it's especially tasty.
I gotta make this again soon
Oh hey Hurst! They package these in my city. Back in college I used to make a pot of these and a huge batch of cornbread regularly all winter. Good memories.
15?! Ridiculous! We need to breed one universal bean that covers everyone's use cases.
Result: there are 16 beans.
Not strictly on topic, but you should post this on Lemmy Shitpost. They really like beans.
Not sure if you’re joking or not. My bean post was deleted by a mod for “Not this shit again”.
I feel like that mod is not properly calibrated to mod a shitppost community
why should i know? i like some beans but not all beans
NO QUESTION, ONLY KNOW.
but...
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.
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.
It's always an odd number with beans.
This, 5 (or 3) bean chilli. Heinz and their 57...
Oh I know.
I use this when making chili. It's fantastic!
That means 15 different farts as well. Had this bag last week and I'm still rippin ass
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 amino acids.
So mix them up and you end up with complete protein.
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
