Legumes are the young pods of the pea plant. Legumes belong to the legume family. The pods are harvested very young. The peas have barely developed. Legumes are bright green, flat and crunchy and have a sweet flavour. Both the skin and the peas are eaten. Legumes are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Preparation & storage
Wash the vegetables before use and cut a tip off the ends. Some pods have threads along the edges. You can pull off these threads when cutting off the ends.
Legumes can be cooked in about 5 minutes. But they retain more flavour if you stew them for about 8 to 11 minutes in little water, with a little liquid margarine.
You can also blanch them for 1 minute. Then you can incorporate them into a salad or an oven dish.
Raw carrots naturally contain a toxin (lectin) that is rendered ineffective by cooking or blanching. Therefore, do not eat carrots raw. Peas in glass jars, tins and from the freezer have already been pre-cooked.
