Just got these. Hubby and I share a 1/4 cup once per week in a nice hot chili, but way cheaper to buy them this way. I’ll be canning this week, and coming up with a baked beans recipe to can too! Might add smoked bacon to the jars. https://www.ebay.com/itm/25-lb-Premium-Soybeans-NEW-CROP/173482792272?hash=item2864615550:g:kqIAAOSwHt5bMvkO
Per cup soy beans
14g carbs
11g fiber
22g protein
One of the things on my list to try is non-roasted peanuts in place of beans. They are legumes. I saw a recipe where they were soaked overnight and then drained before use.
I LOVE boiled peanuts, as we call them here in Alabama. We boil them green( or raw freshly dug) , and washed in the shell in salty water , they are delish.
I noticed on a can of boiled peanuts it says 5 grams of carbs per serving, 5 of which is fiber… so 0 net carbs? For real? If this is true what accounts for that? Are we washing out the starches when we boil them?
In the US the fibre is subtractable from the total shown on the packaging, to get ‘net carbs’.
I guess it makes sense, as plant cellulose (fibre) IS a carbohydrate, just an indigestible one - which is why it isn’t counted (by most people).
Where I am - UK - the fibre is ALREADY subtracted - so you don’t subtract it yourself. The ‘total carbohydrate’ on the label in the UK is what you need to count.
Welcome to the forum, @throatgorge!
I recently discovered canned black soybeans. They have 3 net carbs per can and just taste like beans. I use them in chili and soup. I tried smashing and making refried beans and they weren’t so good.
