Made a tuna and crispy fried chickpea salad and ate with the hand carved alder wood spoon I bought recently - the difference eating with an implement like that is surprisingly sensual.

I fried the chickpeas til they were crisping up and added a little cumin and guajillo chilli powder and kept them going. Macerated some finely chopped red onion in white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. With the tuna I added a teaspoon of capers with a bit of the brine, half tsp grain mustard, two finely chopped oily anchovy fillets, chopped spring onion, chopped celery leaves (I didnt have any actual salad leaves of any kind and I like the mustardy flavour you get from celery leaves) and a little finely chopped celery, some lime juice and olive oil, salt and pepper obvi, and some mayonnaise to bind.

Served in a bowl with the hot crispy chickpeas together with the tuna, and some fine slices of that vacuum packed cooked beetroot you get and some of the pickly red onion.

How to use the vacuum glass container

We're just over half a month away from the Chinese New Year in 2022! For the Chinese, the importance of the Chinese New Year cannot be overstated, and the Chinese New Year movement is something that foreigners are shocked to think is a major migration event. Due to the recent New Crown Pneumonia epidemic, although the government is advocating spending New Year's Eve locally, if you are one of those who spend it away from home, I'm sure you will be receiving packages of all sizes from your mum one after another. With so much food including cooked food, preserved food and grains, how do you store it all? I'll teach you a trick. The vacuum food storage containers is enough.

I. Food

These include grains such as rice, cornmeal, millet, soybeans, chickpeas, browns, red beans, black beans, peas, barley grains and so on. When you buy them, it is best to dry them first and then put them in a vacuum storage box, in a low temperature, dry and light-proof place, or put in desiccant if possible, to keep them for a longer time.

Processed food such as bread, steamed buns, rolls, bun pies, doughnuts, oil cakes, cakes and other processed food, if stored for more than 3 days, should be placed in a fresh box and then put in the refrigerator for freezing.

II. Meat

Fresh meat must be frozen and it is difficult to store large quantities at home. You can save part of the fresh meat in a fresh box and then put it in the fridge to freeze, and part through processing, such as curing, smoking, roasting and other processing to increase the storage capacity.

Fresh meat made into bacon, salami, air (baked) dried meat, sauced meat, barbecued pork, meat sausages, luncheon meat and jerky is massively reduced in size, making it easier to store and preserve into vacuum fresh boxes. Plastic food containers manufacturers should be careful in their selection.

III. Vegetables and fruits

1. leafy vegetables: they can be made into dried or powdered vegetables by various methods such as air-drying, drying, baking, salting, candied, vinegared, dried, etc., such as dried cabbage, spinach powder, sweet and sour garlic, sugar ginger, dried plum vegetables, etc.

2. Root vegetables: pickled, salted, dried, fried and other methods of treatment. For example, they can be made into kimchi, sauerkraut, dried radish, pickled cucumber, onion crisps, dried sweet potatoes, potato chips, etc.

3. Fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes, for example, can be made into tomato sauce by cooking them or squeezed into tomato juice and stored in the freezer.

4. Fruits: can be made into jams, dried fruit, candied dried fruit, sealed cans or vacuum-packed preserves, etc.

5. Dried vegetables: Dried vegetables such as wood ear, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, seaweed, nori, dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, etc. can be stored at home. These dried vegetables can be combined with fresh vegetables or meat to make delicious dishes.

All of the above can be stored in vacuum sealed jars to protect them from moisture and bacteria, with antioxidant effects and no loss of nutrients!

The vacuum food storage containers of Bestfull is a world leader, with sales of $30 million nationwide in 2021, proving the recognition of our products in the USA. Our product range also includes plastic food storage containers in two different shapes - rectangle food storage container and round food container.

What And How To Store In The Freezer

You bought a lot of fresh vegetables so they don’t go bad. It is important to learn how to store them correctly. There is another solution – use the modern method – freeze vegetables.

Frozen vegetables can be delicious. Frozen vegetables are often even better than fresh vegetables, especially if those “fresh” vegetables have been sitting in your fruit and vegetable drawer for several days.

Frozen vegetables are instantly frozen at their peak freshness, but they are often blanched first, which stops various enzymatic actions, helping them retain color and maximum freshness while maintaining their firm texture.

Even so, you cannot use frozen vegetables in the same way as fresh ones. Here are some of the most common mistakes people make when using frozen vegetables.

More details@https://fitnesstudy.com/2021/06/08/what-and-how-to-store-in-the-freezer/

How To Properly Defrost Vegetables

Unlike other frozen foods such as meat or poultry, frozen vegetables do not always need to be thawed before cooking.

Most frozen vegetables can be added directly to any recipe you cook without first defrosting. You can even sauté frozen broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, you just need to double the cooking time.

The exception to this rule is leafy vegetables such as spinach. Unlike quick-frozen vegetables like corn and peas, frozen spinach is packed in solid blocks, which means you’ll need to defrost it first. However, if the vegetables you are cooking are not frozen in a solid block, skip the defrosting step.

Steaming, Boiling, Or Microwave Cooking

Do you steam fresh vegetables, boil them in the microwave? Hopefully, the answer is no. (If so, this is another cooking mistake you can make.) You don’t cook fresh vegetables like that, why would you cook frozen vegetables like that?

As with fresh vegetables, dry heat cooking methods such as stewing and baking do wonders for frozen vegetables, caramelizing them and revealing flavors that are not possible with wet heat methods such as steaming in the microwave. oven or when cooking. So when it comes to frozen vegetables, ditch the microwave or steamer and grab a skillet.

Don’t Store Vegetables For Too Long

The fact that frozen vegetables last longer than fresh vegetables does not mean that you have to store them in the freezer for several months. Especially if you have already opened the package. This is because frozen vegetables dry in the freezer.

Ice crystals are often found on frozen vegetables. They form due to the evaporation of moisture from vegetables as they seek the coldest spot in the freezer. While ice crystals do not harm food and are easy to wash off, they reflect the loss of moisture in vegetables, which means a loss of freshness. This happens over time and will eventually happen regardless of whether you keep the bags sealed or not.

So instead of thinking about frozen vegetables for months, for best results, try to use them within a week or two.

A Large Assortment

Assorted vegetables – not the most difficult operation, but we can say with confidence that in the 100 years that have passed since they became frozen vegetables, the process has improved significantly. In the frozen food section, you will find many types of wonderful vegetables that you would not even expect. Don’t just go for peas or beans.

Foods such as butternut squash, collard greens and other mixed greens, asparagus, eggplant, cabbage, mushrooms, beans, and even chickpeas. The range of frozen vegetables is constantly expanding.

What And How To Store In The Freezer

You find yourself looking in the freezer, confident that you have frozen berries, but cannot figure out where you hid them? It’s time to organize what and how to store in this freezer!

Whether you have a top, side, or bottom freezer (or a dedicated freezer in your garage or basement), organizing and packing it will not only be economical – it will make your life easier. Unlike a refrigerator, the freezer must be full, with sufficient space for airflow. An empty or half-empty freezer uses more electricity to keep items cool.

It is important to keep your freezer at or below -18°C. Monitor the temperature with a reliable refrigerator or freezer thermometer. If you experience a power outage, do not open the freezer door until power is restored.

The door is the warmest part of the freezer, so it’s a great place to store nuts, whole grains, butter, and baked goods. Meat, vegetables, prepared foods and food leftovers should be stored on the shelves.

What Can You Freeze?

Many foods and leftovers can be frozen, but there are some exceptions.

High moisture fruits and vegetables such as melons, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, and tender leafy greens are great if you plan on using them in soups or casseroles.

The sour cream, yogurt and mayonnaise will separate, and the freezer will change the texture of cream cheese and other spreading soft cheeses. If you need to freeze cream cheese, use it to make cheesecakes and other baked goods.

Cooked pasta dishes can be frozen, but for best results, the pasta should be slightly undercooked.

Boiled potatoes freeze well, but don’t store them raw in the freezer – they will turn black.

Never freeze food in unopened jars: jars can explode when liquids inside expand. Instead, empty the contents of the jars into freezer containers or bags.

The eggs will expand and explode when they are frozen in their shell. Remove the eggs from the shell and beat them; freeze the beaten eggs in ice cube trays and then place the cubes in the freezer.

Fried foods do not freeze well, they lose their crispy texture and any breading becomes soft.

Correct Packaging For Freezing

When you carry any food into a container, be sure to label it with a name and the current date or the date “best to use”. When freezing meat, poultry and seafood, add the weight on the label.

Plastic containers: Sealed plastic containers are lightweight and economical, and they can seamlessly transition from the freezer to the microwave. When buying plastic containers, make sure they are BPA (bisphenol-a) free and freezer safe. Some plastics break in the freezer.

Glass: Safety glass containers are environmentally friendly and can be placed from the freezer into a refrigerator or oven. Tin cans are also a good option, but to avoid breaking the glass, make sure you leave space on top of the food so that the food has enough room to expand. Choose jars with a wide mouth and leave at least 1 cm of free space. Tins with a narrower opening will need extra space. Some manufacturers place an embossed freezer fill line on their cans.

Wraps: Plastic wrap, foil and freezer paper are suitable for meat, meatloaf leftovers, bread and seafood. Double packing provides insulation.

Bags: When freezing food in bags, whether vacuum or zippered, flatten the food as much as possible for faster defrosting.

The Order Of Use Of Food In The Freezer

Label foods with the date they were stored in the freezer and keep the oldest (first) foods on the front or top so they can be used first. This ensures that old food does not remain at the back or bottom, which can reduce quality and taste over time.

How To Prevent Frost Burn

Frostbite is not dangerous, but it can significantly alter the texture and taste of food. Excessive air around food causes some food to have this frosty, freezer-burnt appearance. A vacuum sealer is ideal, but if you don’t have one, there are several alternatives.

Here’s one easy way to remove air from a zippered bag. Fill the bag and close it to within 1 cm. Dip the bag of food in cold water, just to the very top; the pressure of the water flowing around the outside of the bag displaces excess air, pushing it out through a small opening. Seal the bag quickly, dry it, and freeze it.

The next best way to avoid scalding your freezer is to pack food in perfectly sized containers or bags. Alternatively, you can wrap food freezer paper or two sheets of heavy-duty foil tightly before placing it in a bag or container.

For some foods, such as meatballs, lay them out on a tray and freeze until firm, then transfer them to a vacuum sealer, freezer, or container. Some leftovers can be frozen in ice cube trays and then sent in bags for longer storage.

Vacuum-fried Snacks – The Future of Healthy Snacking

No doubt it tastes good when it comes to oily and deep-fried snacks. But do you know how bad it is for your health? Fried snacks are high in fat, calories, oil and even salt. A few studies have proved that deep fried snacks lead to serious health problems like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Many restaurants use these oils because they give food a satisfying taste and crunch. But they're not good for you.

Vacuum fried snacks have many good qualities as compared to snacks that are fried in normal pressure or at higher pressure. The vegetable or the fruit absorbs less oil since it is deep-fried for an optimal pre-defined amount of time. This makes vacuum fried chips healthier than other types of chips.

Before we get into this let’s talk about what is vacuum fried technology.

What is Vacuum Frying Technology?

Vacuum frying technology as the name indicates is a method of frying where the eatable is deep-fried in oil in vacuum or near-vacuum condition. The frying occurs in a low pressure, therefore the vegetable or the fruit can be cooked in oil at a lower temperature as compared to those snacks fried in normal pressure.

How is vacuum-frying healthy?

Vacuum-frying process helps retain natural nutrients, colour, texture, and flavour of the fruit or vegetable that is being fried. This, quite simply, means that vacuum-fried snacks are more nutritious and tastier than regular fried food.

known as gram, or Bengal gram, garbanzo or garbanzo bean, Egyptian pea. 

“is a legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae.  Its seeds are high in protein. It is one of the earliest cultivated legumes: 7,500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East.

The name “chickpea” traces back through the French chiche to cicer, Latin for ‘chickpea’ (from which the Roman cognomen Cicero was taken). 

Domesticated chickpeas have been found in the aceramic levels of Jericho (PPNB) along with Çayönü in Turkey and in Neolithic pottery at Hacilar, Turkey. They were found in the late Neolithic (about 3500 BC) at Thessaly, Kastanas, Lerna and Dimini, Greece. In southern France, Mesolithic layers in a cave at L'Abeurador, Aude, have yielded wild chickpeas carbon dated to 6790±90 BC.  Nicholas Culpeper noted “chick-pease or cicers” are less “windy” than peas and more nourishing.

In 1793, ground-roast chickpeas were noted by a German writer as a substitute for coffee in Europe. In the First World War, they were grown for this use in some areas of Germany.

Mature chickpeas can be cooked and eaten cold in salads, cooked in stews, ground into flour, ground and shaped in balls and fried as falafel, made into a batter and baked to make farinata or cecina, or fried to make panelle. Chickpea flour is known as gram flour or besan in South Asia and used frequently in South Asian cuisine

Chickpeas are popular in the Iberian Peninsula. In Portugal, they are one of the main ingredients in rancho, eaten with pasta and meat, including Portuguese sausages, or with rice. They are used in other hot dishes with bacalhau and in soup. In Spain, they are used cold in tapas and salads, as well as in cocido madrileño. In Italy, chickpeas are eaten with pasta or in soup. In southern Italy, chickpea flour is made into a batter for panelle, a sort of crepe. In Egypt, chickpeas are used as a topping for kushari.

Hummus is the Arabic word for chickpeas, which are often cooked and ground into a paste and mixed with tahina (sesame seed paste), the blend called hummus bi tahina

Chickpeas serve as an energy and protein source as animal feed.

Raw chickpeas have a lower trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor content than peas, common beans, and soybeans. This leads to higher nutrition values and fewer digestive problems 

Chickpeas are a nutrient-dense food, providing rich content (20% or higher of the Daily Value, DV) of protein, dietary fibre, folate, and certain dietary minerals such as iron and phosphorus.”

Has similar effects as probiotica (excerpt from research link:” The number of individuals showing TRFs for the Clostridium histolyticum - Clostridum lituseburense groups, which include pathogenic bacteria species and putrefactive bacteria, were lower in the chickpea diet compared to the other two treatments.   “ ) *see research link 21831757

Varied Baby Food Recipes 8–12 months, Fast & Easy

How to make fast Baby Food recipes, By now your baby has probably mastered purées and tried a wide variety of  nutritious—and delicious—new tastes. It’s time to get more adventurous with his meals by introducing fresh flavors and more complex baby food. This is one of my favorite stages in a baby’s eating career. By nine months Rosa was  more comfortable in the high chair, more at ease with utensils, and just  more expressive (dare I say even more cute?). Each day was different, and I  was curious to see what flavors she would prefer and whether most of the  finger foods would end up in her mouth or on the floor (um, often the floor .  . . this is also when we invested in a small handheld vacuum).

I prepared most of the dishes in this chapter specifically for Rosa, contin-  uing to use the freezer for easy meals during the week. But a few of the  recipes (I’m thinking of Baby’s Bolognese, Greek Fish and Tomatoes, and  Curried Cauliflower and Chickpeas) were our dinnertime standbys that just  happened to make delicious, age-appropriate baby food. And sometimes it  works the other way around: After making the Rosemary Roasted Pears just  for Rosa, I promptly ate half of it myself. 

List of Baby Food Recipes:

Rosemary Roasted Pears

Salmon, Kale, and Sweet Potato Smash

Savory Beef and Broccoli

Curried Cauliflower and Chickpeas

Comforting Chicken Soup

Baby’s Bolognese

Sweet Spiced Chicken Stew

Mighty Green Beans

Beets in Yogurt with Dill

Greek Fish and Tomatoes

Pumpkin-Banana Mash

Fruity Tofu Pudding 

Since your baby’s tummy is still so tiny, you want to be sure to feed her themost nutrient-
dense foods possible, full of protein, iron, and all the vita-mins and minerals she needs to be healthy and strong. The recipes in thischapter fit the bill perfectly, chock-full of both nutrition and flavor.

As your baby grows and becomes more proficient at chewing and swal-lowing, you’ll want to maintain more texture in her food. Instead of using ablender, transition to pulsing dishes in a food processor, blending them witha handheld immersion blender, or simply employing a knife and fork to dothe job (less dishes!). Don’t be afraid to feed your child chunkier foods onceshe has mastered purées. According to a 2009 study, children who started lumpier foods between six and nine months had more food acceptance atage seven.

During this period you should also offer your baby a wider variety of finger foods. Look for ideas in chapter four.

Continue with a sippy cup of water at each meal. At around eight to ten months it’s time to move on to a cup with a straw, which will allow yourbaby to train another set of muscles and learn new drinking skills. Considerboth sippy and straw cups as transitional tools, rather than permanent waysof drinking. By 12 months, your toddler is ready for an open cup. Start experi-menting with very small amounts of milk or water and have plenty of kitchentowels at hand during the learning period. This upgrade is extremely impor-tant for your child’s oral health and development of feeding skills, so don’tlet the mess deter you (as tempting as that may be).

Serving Sizes

Your baby will likely be able to handle ¼ cup or more ofeach of the meals in this chapter. Most of the recipes makemany times more than that, so there will be plenty to refrig-erate or freeze for future meals.

Wholesome feeding tips 

Make sure your baby has transitioned to a regular feeding schedule by now, a structure that includes three set meals a day, plus a midmorning and  midafternoon snack. Some babies also need a bedtime snack, so be guided  by your little one. 

Continue to avoid added salt until your baby is 12 months old, and take this opportunity to attune her palate to foods without a lot of added sugars. 

Babies at this stage love to explore. Let your little one touch and squeeze the food. By ten months he may be ready to practice with a fork and spoon. 

Don’t be alarmed if your baby chows down at one meal and then hardly eats at the next, or if he rejects a food he liked just yesterday. Babies’ appetites are  always in flux, and they are still experimenting with flavors. Trust your baby,  and never pressure him to eat. 

Your child may make a funny face when he tries a new food, but don’t give up as long as he continues to eat! At this stage most children are open to new  foods, so continue to serve a variety and meet your baby’s frowns with smiles.

Greek Fish and Tomatoes

I make a variation of this dish for my (grown-up!) personal chef clients. For a hit of  brine I always roast some capers or pitted Kalamata olives along with the tomatoes.  Let your older baby explore these flavors as well by serving them on the side.   

Olive oil 

6 oz. red snapper fillet or other white fish, bones removed 

½ cup grape tomatoes, quartered 

2 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives, halved, or 2 teaspoons capers 

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub a small baking pan with olive oil. 

Place the snapper on the prepared pan. Drizzle with ¼ teaspoon olive oil, spreading it over the fish with the back of a spoon or your fingers. 

In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives or capers, ½ teaspoon olive oil, and oregano. Spoon over the fish. Most 
of it will land on the pan;  that’s fine. Roast until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.  Cool slightly. 

Transfer the fish, tomatoes and any juices to a large bowl, leaving behind the olives or capers and the fish’s skin. With an immersion blender, food  processor, or knife and fork, mash the fish and tomatoes until you get the  desired consistency for your baby. Serve the olives or capers on the side.   

Makes about 1 cup

Age It Up: Before mashing, this is a lovely, easy dinner for the grown-ups and big  kids in the household. Just salt and pepper the grown-up’s portions. 

Nutrition per serving (¼ cup): 53 calories; 8g protein; 1.8g fat (0g sat. fat); 1g car-  bohydrates; 0g fiber; 1g sugars; 55mg sodium; 9mg calcium; 0mg iron; 229mg  potassium; 4mg Vitamin C; 204IU Vitamin A.

Pumpkin-Banana Mash

What a treat! Buttery-soft banana is mixed with smooth and creamy pumpkin purée  and spiked with cinnamon. Be sure to use a ripe banana for the sweetest flavor.   

1 teaspoon unsalted butter 

1 medium banana, sliced 

¼ cup canned pumpkin purée 

⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the banana slices and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. 

Transfer the banana to a small bowl. Add the pumpkin and cinnamon. With a fork, mash the banana to get the desired consistency for your baby.

Makes about ½ cup

Nutrition per serving (¼ cup): 95 calories; 1g protein; 2g fat (1g sat. fat); 20g car-  bohydrates; 3g fiber; 10g sugars; 3mg sodium; 14mg calcium; 1mg iron; 332mg  potassium; 8mg Vitamin C; 4877IU Vitamin A.

Fruity Tofu Pudding baby food

Make this creamy concoction a day ahead, and feel free to experiment with different  fruits.

8 oz. silken tofu, liquid poured off 

1 cup chopped nectarine (about 1) 

¼ cup raspberries 

1 tablespoon agave nectar

Put all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. 

Transfer the pudding to a storage container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Makes about 1 cup

Nutrition per serving (¼ cup): 66 calories; 3g protein; 2g fat (0g sat. fat); 10g car-  bohydrates; 1g fiber; 8g sugars; 3mg sodium; 21mg calcium; 1mg iron; 185mg  potassium; 4mg Vitamin C; 121IU Vitamin A   

Wholesome Tip

Tofu is a wonderful addition to the diet of vegetarian and non-vegetarian ba-  bies alike. Inexpensive and high in protein, it has a mild flavor that plays  well with both sweet and savory ingredients.

01/5What to eat during work from home

With the COVID-19 scare all around the globe many organisations are taking measures to prevent further outbreak of this pandemic. After the advisories issued by the World Health organisation many companies have come up with their contingency plans in preparation for the spread of coronavirus, and “remote working” is a big part of those plans. With an objective to increase social distancing among people, many companies are allowing employees to work from home. Working from the comfort of the home is always satisfying. As there’s no commuting involved along with the perks of working in sweatpants. However at the sametime, working from home or “Remote working” can present a unique set of challenges including distractions, a less productive work environment and hampering eating habits further impacting health and diet.

Sometimes it’s hard to stay healthy while working from home. But with a few simple changes to your daily routine, working from home and staying healthy can go together symbiotically. Below are the list of healthy snacks that you can munch while working from home:

02/5​Roasted Chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas are a non-perishable snack that’s high in protein, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals. A 1/2 cup of chickpeas has 5 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein. What’s more, they contain most of the amino acids your body needs, so their protein is considered to be of higher quality than that of other legumes. Vacuum Fried Tangy Chickpea are super healthy and very low on calories and can make for a delicious indulgence.

03/5​Nuts

Dry fruits work as any other kind of snack and are also good for building a strong metabolism and helps in curbing appetite. Hence, a dose of dry fruits and nuts is a must. So make sure even if you are working from home, you must add nuts, dates, dry grapes along with two or three cashews. Nuts boast of several health benefits that are good for our body. A minimal quantity of nuts consumed every day also helps in weight loss. A mix of almonds, cashews, raisins, walnut and figs can be the basic constituents of the bowl.

CARRIED PEPPER FRIED PEPPER

New Post has been published on http://www.turkishcuisinefood.com/marinades-are/carried-pepper-fried-pepper/

CARRIED PEPPER FRIED PEPPER

Materials

350 gr. jalapeno pepper 400 gr. carrot 2 teacups grape juice 4 cloves of garlic 3 sweet spoon salt 2 sweet spoonful of sugar 1 handful of chickpeas

How does the Bitter Orange Mexican Pickle?

Cut the ring into the ring before removing the seeds of the jalapeno peppers. Slice the carrots into slices. Add 2 half-kilogram jars of chickpeas and chopped garlic. Place the peppers and carrots in your jars firmly. Add one and a half sweet spoonful salt (we share 3 spices), 1 fresh sweet spoonful of sugar and 1 cup of grape crescents. Fill the remaining parts with boiling water and cover the cover tightly. Turn the jars upside down. Keep it in a place where it does not see the sun flat on the cold. The pickle waiting for at least one week is ready to eat. Enjoy the healing. NOTE: Adding hot water does not melt pickles. On the contrary, it ensures that the doors are vacuumed when they are turned upside down. So the pickle lasts long without deterioration.

"Alongside the usual savory and sweet items that every pantry needs, there are a few ingredients that are particularly useful for vegetarians and vegans, as well as those wanting to eat more meatless meals. All of these items are ideal for adding protein, texture, and flavor to what you're cooking. Each household's pantry will vary according to personal taste, ethnic background, and food allergies, but these 15 items are a great way to get started. (Image credit: Faith Durand) A couple of these items do go beyond the pantry, but they're great meatless staples to have on hand. 15 Essentials for your Vegetarian (or Vegan) Pantry 1. Beans Though I like to keep a variety of dried or canned beans, I always make sure my pantry has at least two: lentils and chickpeas. Lentils cook quickly and are great additions to soups, pilafs, and salads. I like to throw chickpeas into pasta dishes and vegetable braises and stews. Pinto, black, kidney, and cannellini beans are also good to have on hand. → Soak dry beans faster! How To Quick-Soak Dried Beans in Just One Hour 2. Grains Using a variety of grains lends nutrition, texture, flavor, and makes vegetarian and vegan meals more interesting. I like to keep my pantry stocked with brown rice, white rice, quinoa, spelt, farro, millet, and bulgur. 3. Tempeh Once you know how to prepare it, tempeh can be one of the best staple sources of protein. It can be refrigerated for a week or two (check the date on the package) and will keep up to several months in the freezer. → Make your own! How To Make Tempeh 18 Tofu Tips: How to Buy It, Store It, Use It, and Eat It! (Image credit: Emma Christensen) 4. Tofu Like tempeh, tofu is not strictly a pantry item, but it's an essential for vegetarian kitchens. I like to keep blocks of refrigerated extra firm tofu for baking and frying, vacuum-packed silken tofu to blend into dressings and puddings, and dried tofu for soups and stir-fries. → Tofu inspiration: 15 Delicious Ways to Eat Tofu All Day Long 5.
