Legumes
Soak legumes for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes
the legumes more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required. Soaked
legumes must be covered with liquid during cooking.
Lentils
do not need to be soaked before cooking.
With unsoaked legumes, a certain ratio of pulses to liquid is required depending on
type.
