➡️ Want to cook your own dry beans at home? Here’s how:
Beans are loaded with good-for-your-gut fiber, something a lot of us struggle to get enough of.
❤️ They have been linked with health benefits including lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and a lower risk of heart disease, and they also can help keep you feeling fuller longer.
➡ No matter what kind of legume you’re preparing, it’s important to make sure they are fully cooked before you eat them because the uncooked version contains “antinutrients,” which can affect both your digestive system and the absorption of other nutrients.
🥘 Enjoy beans in soups and stews, in salads, or in chili!

I added a Parmesan Rind to this soup to enhance the flavor since I had it on hand. I highly recommend that you try this out!
The question is: What are Parmesan rinds?
Parmesan rinds are just what they sound like: the rind from real Parmesan cheese. Authentic Parmesan cheese has a protective rind that develops all along the outside, kinda like its crust.
The rind contains all the flavors of the cheese, but it’s basically inedible (it’s actually fine to eat, but the texture is hard to actually chew). It’s FANTASTIC to cook with!
Adding a Parmesan rind to your soup will add a lot of dimensions to the flavor. Parmesan rinds don’t melt, but they do soften a bit. It will just sit in your soup and infuse it with all of that rich flavor.
Plus, they are cheap!
I like to save the rinds from the Parmesan cheese I purchase (they’ll stay good in the fridge for months!), but you can also buy rinds from cheese shops and high-end grocers; they’re often inexpensive!
