The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. Please avoid sharing articles about celebrities, plant-based capitalism and artificial intelligence.

Don't have much experience with beans, but I quite like black turtle beans. Still struggling with making them, though. The canned beans often fall apart and I haven't yet tried with dried beans, as those are quite the commitment to prepare. 😅

Beans falling apart is a good thing! They turn into the sauce for other things in that way and is my favorite thing about beans

Well, the black turtle bean specifically has a hard 'shell', so you use it when you don't want the beans falling apart, like in burritos or salads.

That's also part of the reason why I think they're neat, they just look damn aesthetic:

But interesting point nonetheless. I have been trying them in tomato sauce, and maybe the hard shell is holding them back in that case...
