Beans

Beans are great sources of: Fiber helps with healthy digestion and keeps us feeling full. Eating enough fiber has been shown to keep our hearts healthy too. - Folate, or folic acid, helps our tissues grow and our cells work. Especially important for pregnant women. - Proteins are building blocks for our bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. They provide a variety of nutrients that are essential for health and maintenance of your body. - Potassium, a type of electrolyte, helps build muscle and keeps your heart healthy. - Magnesium helps with muscle function and energy production.

Instructions:

How to Store:
- Keep beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place.
- Beans can last up to 1 year.
- Store cooked beans in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can also freeze cooked beans in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
How to Cook:
- If cooking dry beans, soaking them for 6-8 hours (overnight) before cooking will reduce cooking time.
- Drain well
- Put beans in a large pot with 2 inches of water to cover them
- Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that forms.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cook for 1-2 hours; when the beans are easily mashed with a fork, they're done.
- Don't add salt as this toughens the beans.
- You can add bay leaves, cumin, or other spices to flavor the beans.

These are ripe and ready to eat.
If you buy a hard avocado, leave it on your counter for a couple days to allow it to ripen.
Store unripe avocados at room temperature on the counter for 2-4 days.
Refrigerate when ripe for up to 5 days.
Cut avocado in half lengthwise around the pit.
Quickly hit the pit with a sharp knife and twist to free the pit.

Rambutan

Rambutans are a tropical fruit with a sweet flavor similar to a grape.
Rambutans are rich in carbohydrates, lipids, phosphorus, vitamin C, niacin, iron, calcium, copper, protein, and fiber.

Instructions:

To eat a rambutan, use a sharp knife to cut a shallow sliver into the rind or chop off the tip of the fruit where the stem connects.
Gently tear the skin open to expose the fruit and squeeze it out of the shell.
Avoid the large, bitter seed in the middle; some people simply bite the flesh off the pit, however, you can use a knife to cut around the diameter of the fruit and then peel the fruit off the pit (this is helpful when using rambutan in recipes).
