Legusnello, here is an original prescription to cook and consume legumes in an alternative way. It is a preparation capable of enhancing the properties of legumes and, at the same time, enhancing the taste of our dishes.

Fruit of the collaboration between Doctor Franco Leone and the dietician Mary Pappalardo after years of studies on the beneficial properties of legumes, this simple and delicious recipe seeks to facilitate their daily consumption by overcoming the limits of these foods rich in vegetable proteins, but not always too digestible or palatable.

As reported, in fact, by the two doctors on the Facebook page dedicated to this product, "Legumes have a double" limit ": in cooking they hydrate, doubling their weight and volume (with possible negative repercussions on digestibility: irritable colon, bloating, etc.); "not exciting" taste and palatability (especially when compared with "sausages" and "french fries"). "

Starting from this assumption, they created a very simple compound made from the drying of beans or chickpeas to be used as a condiment for both sweet and savory dishes, simply by sprinkling it on the dishes. As a substitute for meat, cured meats, fish, eggs and cheeses, it can be used instead of Parmesan on pasta, to enrich sandwiches, wraps and salads, but also desserts and pralines. And looking at the images of the recipes in which it was used, it promises really well:
