To help those cooks out, our "Short and Sweet" series asks only two hours from your busy lives to learn something new and have a delicious meal.

We will discuss the many different varieties of legumes, their nutrition, how to reduce gaseous side effects and how to ensure that you are cooking your beans properly (with and without an Instant Pot).
