In fact, this family has many … no, a whole lot of plants – about 20 thousand species! Of these, the ones mentioned above may interest us as edible, and so can
peanuts
and alfalfa (for livestock). For general knowledge, you can remember clover, acacia, mimosa, lupine, and vetch — all of this belongs to the legumes.
These crops are very nutritious; they can serve as a high-quality substitute for meat protein, containing the amino acids people need. On top of that, they have a high content of slow-digesting carbohydrates, vitamins (mainly A and the B group), iron, potassium, calcium, and starch. That's why legumes are worth leaning on for anemia, a lack of calcium in the body, nervous exhaustion, and heart failure. Legumes also contain substitutes for female hormones, which means they should definitely be part of the diet of mature women. According to nutritionists, the share of legumes in our diet should reach 10%. They should be paired with vegetable oil, herbs, raw vegetables, and sour cream, but not with starchy and bread products.
Bean dishes
can be hard on people with heart, gallbladder, and stomach conditions.
Legumes are eaten whole or crushed, fresh or canned.
Recipes with legumes
can sometimes be unexpected. For example, lentils are used to make not only
pureed soups
and
side dishes
, but they also bake bread with it and add it to
cookies
, crackers, and candies.
Peas are cooked into porridge and soup, made into homemade noodles and filling for pancakes, baked into
pies
, boiled into
kissel
, and even turned into pea cheese. Pea pudding is very popular in the UK. Canned peas are a frequent ingredient in salads and snacks.
Peanuts are used in confectionery: in making cakes, halva, and cookies. Meat and fish are also breaded with grated peanuts.
Soy is an indispensable product in the food industry. It goes into many semi-finished products, meat and confectionery goods, and is used to make
sauces
, pseudo-meat, and pseudo-dairy products.
We value the variety and the benefits — let's cook at home with legumes!
