Canned Beans are pantry favourite that can be used for salads, bean paste such as Humus through to a meat substitute. Keep a range of varieties handy to create that healthy dip or add to dinner recipes any night of the week.
Chickpeas are an essential ingredient in many kinds of cuisine, from Middle Eastern and Spanish to North African and Indian. A good source of zinc, folate and protein, they add a crunchy texture and nutty flavour to curries, salads and stews. Whizz up with some garlic, Tahini (sesame seed paste), olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice to create a delicious hummus.
