I'm wondering now though whether the cost balances out because dry beans require a lot more energy to cook? I know they need at least an hour on the stove, whereas canned beans you can just add to a chilli etc straight away
Pressure cooker is the way for dry foods. Mine will do split peas lentils and mung bean stew in 12 mins.
If you are poor, a pressure cooker is out of reach if you don't already have one.
How poor are we talking? I just found a pressure cooker for $25 on Amazon.
Poor where we are talking about saving cents on buying canned beans vs dry beans because it makes a difference.
When you go in debt every month to just survive, every cent count.
I would definitely indebt myself of 25$, but I am in a situation where I don't need to, so it is easy to say. I don't know what that reality is.
