Cooking Dry Black Soybeans

1 cup of dry black soybeans = 2 cups when cooked

½ cup of cooked black soybeans = 7 grams protein, 8 grams carbs, 7 grams fiber, 1 net carb

Soak one cup of dry beans in 4 cups of water in the fridge overnight.

Rinse and drain beans.

Add beans to a pressure cooker with 1 TBSP EVOO and a ½ tsp salt.

Cover beans with water.

Pressure cook for 20 minutes with a natural steam release.

Drain beans, save liquid for hummus and refried black soybeans.

Notes:

I’m using organic non GMO dry black soybeans.

You can also use canned black soybeans.

Black soybeans are keto friendly with 1 net carb per 1/2 cup of cooked beans.

One cup of dried beans yields 2 cups of cooked beans.
