Such a great fibre summary! I agree about building up slowly. As a nutritional therapist working with people on this, ooh, the pain, bloating and unsocial side needs bearing in mind:)) Even starting with a teaspoon of hummus a day and building up slowly can work with a bit of consistency, where you don't bloat any more when you have it and you get the health benefits. Also can't agree more about apples and the skin - see my recent post. Jeannette x
Thanks for you comments Jeanette - very helpful - and I love an apple! P.s I have just adapted your forking the potatoes method for my olive oil roasted air fryer potatoes - a game changer!!
I’ve just laughed out loud on a crowded train. Necking kidney beans 🤣.
Great post, full of really useful info. I’ve never measured my intake but may well start now. Psyllium husks are a regular park of my kefir Brekkie mix so I guess that helps 😊
Talking of Brekkie, how does coffee with milk contain fibre?
I used to love the Brindisia and Bold Bean Co beans, but they are just so expensive. If anyone here is reading and feeling similar, then a pressure cooker is your friend (if you have one!). I batch cook and freeze my beans in a pressure cooker and they are so delicious and well textured there is no going back to tinned ever!
Yes they are pricey you’re certainly right there - Batch cooking pulses is very sensible and I go through phases of being very diligent about it, keeping the bold beans for “special” occasions. Have you got any tricks for them not splitting when pressure cooked?
P.S i learned everything i know from Catherine Phipps and her book Modern Pressure Cooking. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it changed my life!
Brilliant - informative and funny!
Thank you Liz! In the process I have realised that I too need to try a little harder with the old fibre….

Ha well I am glad you were amused - I was!! Yup that psyllium is a good one - must look into it myself.

It’s trial and error really, but i tend to not pre-soak and just go for it! It does take a bit of diligence though you’re right!
