1

Acquistare legumi freschi, preferibilmente non più vecchi di un anno.

2

Eseguire l'ammollo preventivo per reidratare i legumi, necessario per ceci e fagioli.

3

Per lenticchie e alcune varietà di fagioli piccoli, l'ammollo non è necessario.

4

Utilizzare abbondante acqua per l'ammollo, poiché i legumi raddoppiano il peso e triplicano il volume.

5

Cuocere i legumi, aggiungendo acqua calda se necessario durante la cottura.

6

Evitare di aggiungere sale durante la cottura per non indurire la buccia dei legumi.
