Sure, too much of it makes one purge. Though with bread, you can overcome the purging. I mean for adults.

so those children that are short it's because they don't eat beans while young ? I think tallness has to do with gene. if your mother or father is tall then there is chance you will be tall by taking balance diet with much proteins like beans and co. but if your parents are short then you start eating beans since 6months old, I don't think you will grow more than normal, you might just grow past your parents small but won't be that tall

This style of beans is my dad's favorite. Whenever he takes over the kitchen to prepare beans, he must add tomatoes and the taste is always on another level. So this is my dad's recipe.

I washed and Parboiled the beans.
Then decanted the water and added fresh water to cook it.

I cooked the beans until it was Soft and done.

I sliced onions into it
Added crayfish
Little vegetable oil

Grated some fresh peppers and tomatoes and added to it. And finally added palm oil, stired and let it simmer for some mins. Brought it down.

I prepared pap and served with the beans topped with some spring onions.

This meal is cost effective yet rich and very nutritious.

My boyfriend lalasticlala come and eat undecided.


first time am hearing perboil beans , do you even know why we perboil rice? because of starch so perboil beans don't make sense don't feel insulted oooo. that's just overdo

You should have asked euy I parboiled the beans before saying it doesn't make sense.

If I don't parboil my beans before cooking, it will disturb my stomach. Like serious stomach upset that I'll be rolling on the floor. I had that experience for long until I watched a program where a doctor confirmed that its unparboiled beans that causes such upset.

Since then I've been parboiling it and I no longer experience that stomach upset.

What rescue?? undecided

What about garri and groundnut that has been saving lives since time immemorial, especially undergraduates and fresh graduates then??

More so, I don't really like your combo. Garri (or bread, when there's enough money) and beans with enough red oil, does it for me..

I hate pap, akamu, whatever undecided...

I love pap but because it makes me put on weight, I avoid it and only take it once in a blue moon.
Does Pap helps add weight?
I think I need to drink more of it then even though I think it’s the reverse due to constant urination that comes with it
