Beans,beans are good for your heart the more you eat the more you ..... errr forgot that part

haha -- my dad taught us the kid's cleaned up version --

Beans beans the musical fruit,
the more you eat the more you toot
the more you toot the better you feel
and then you're ready for another meal!


For prepping dried beans you don't actually have to wait over night -- wash the beans, place them in a pot with 3x the amount of water, bring them to a slow boil, then boil for a few minutes or so, turn off the heat, put on a lid, and allow them to soak for an hour. The time depends on the variation of the bean. With larger alubia beans I usually let them soak for about 4 hrs.

The last line in my world was different.

So have some beans at every meal.

That's how we learned it.
