Gut health & 30 plant points a week

[Barriehie]

I'll have to do some shopping at Kroger for this. Walmart doesn't have a large enough produce section.

I've got about a dozen different types of dried beans and several whole grains on hand.

My husband just loaded upon baked beans, it’s on sale.

I have many cans, emergency food, but like to cook from dried for the flavor outcome options.

I never make those baked beans. I rather my husband has his beans whenever he wants.

I don't remember the last time I made baked beans. I go the boil route, baking is too inefficient.

Have to admit, I've tried to make baked beans from scratch several times, and they never taste as good as the tinned ones!

I think the idea is that consuming then helps with gut health. Just saying!

Yes, but it isn't a case of a slice of lime or 5 raspberries count, 5 each day would though i guess... I think you need a certain quantity if the explanation of herbs and spices being ¼pt is anything to go by. I don't think eating 25g of coriander per serving of my soup is only ¼pt personally. But who knows, we can judge ourselves. I know how much garlic (10 cloves), ginger (50g), fresh coriander (125g) and cumin (1½ tbsp) went into our cold soup, so I'll be counting that as 2 across the week, is that makes sense. There is also 2 very large limes, including flesh in there as well).

Beneficial plants are generally categorised into six groups:

1. wholegrains (like brown rice, oats, barley and quinoa)
2. vegetables,
3. fruit,
4. legumes (think lentils, chickpeas and beans),
5. nuts and seeds and
6. herbs and spices.

All of those will count towards your quota.
