Genuinely curious I have been seeing some nutrition stuff that made me start questioning why I eat processed foods and junk food for pleasure and whats really in it for me other than dopamine boost with candies, for example. Now I’m wondering about what I’m asking in the title.

        Right? At a minimum, it might help mental health to allow some things to ferment a bit and then consume the toxic byproducts in moderation.

        Edit: fixed typos

      Do you know the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo?

      Trump never paid to have a garbanzo on his chest.

      Thanks :) do you happen to know any electric machines I can buy where I can just let chickpeas cooking while I do other stuff?

        I don’t understand what you’re asking.

        Soak dried chickpeas overnight in salt water. Boil the chickpeas. Add seasonings, sauces, and/or condiments. This will cost you pennies to prepare.

        Pressure Cookers are wonderful for beans. Something like the Instant Pot can cook beans for you, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. If you’re not comfortable with pressure cookers, there’s also slow cookers, tho they’ll take longer than just boiling the beans.

        You could also just put the beans, water/stock, whatever seasonings you want in an oven proof pot, bring it up to a boil on the stove, and then transfer it into a 325F oven and let it go for 1-1.5 hours
