Pink Beans – Number one – 1 Kg
Pink beans, also known as ‘pink cocos’, are highly prized legumes for their sweetness, thin skin, and tender texture. Packaged here in a 1 kg bag by the Number One brand, they are perfect for all your stews, vegetarian dishes, or traditional African preparations. Their pink color and elongated shape distinguish them from other varieties of dried beans.
These beans are particularly appreciated for their ability to absorb the flavors of accompanying ingredients. Their taste is both delicate and slightly sweet, making them versatile and easy to pair. They are suitable for savory recipes as well as more original preparations.
Before cooking, it is essential to soak them in cold water for about 8 to 12 hours. This soaking facilitates cooking, improves texture, and reduces the risk of digestive discomfort. Then, they can be cooked in a large volume of water, with or without aromatics. Cooking time can vary between 45 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the method used (pot or pressure cooker).
Pink beans are suitable for many dishes: vegetable stews, spicy sauces, purees, vegetarian chili, revisited cassoulet, or rice with beans. They can also accompany grilled meats or fish. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and minerals, this product fits perfectly into a balanced diet.
Once the package is opened, store the beans in an airtight container, away from moisture and light. This 1 kg format is practical, economical, and suitable for regular use.
