I'll have a listen.I looked up my dry lentils (I never used canned lentils before) and the protein percentages are indeed in your range, 28 for the pink lentils and 24 for the green. The only explanation I can think of is the soaking that comes from cooking the lentils in water means there is a much higher % of water in the final cooked lentils, therefore lowering the protein percentage. If you take 100 grams of lentils and cook them they will weigh much heavier but you will still have the same protein weight. I'm terrible at all kind of number or logical thinking : does this make any sense ?
Random rant : I had actually asked my partner to get "sardines au naturel" when he came back with four cans of cooked lentils. He said the canned fish aisle at the supermarket was too complicated.
I've always kind of liked him, we still listen to some of his CDs.
Out of subject ramble : I really liked the recent collab with Piers Faccini and Abdelkebir Merkane, all aboard. But I like cultural mishmash, I'm a bit ashamed to say this as so much of so called world music is terrible, and I like gnaoua.
Well, then I hope we shouldn't take the analogy as far as to say that you learned something about yourself
What would you say was the lesson? That even experienced chicken keepers can be surprised by a rooster's agressive behaviour? That caring for a very sick or wounded chicken will build trust ? Or that even an adult rooster can change his behaviour for the worse and for the better ?
I'm surprised you don't get dried beans where you live.
Just out of interest, if you look at the recommended daily intake of protein and kilo calories for a human on the stuff you get in the US, how much is it?
I haven't had beans on toast for ages. I used to make my own tomato sauce and use the white beans that grew locally when I lived in Catalonia. Got me thinking now.yay - beans on toast!
Actually the protein does get listed only as grams on the can. There's no percent listed
Sorting out their tribes then.Hi everyone! My husband & i spent the last few days caring for the farm flocks. I have only been helping with projects recently (fencing, installation of nest boxes, barn cleaning), so I haven’t much had time to observe, and the feeding is usually done before I get there. When I went into the feed barn, I noticed one of the roosters who has moved in with the older ladies (they didn’t have a male there), calling them with a chuck chuck deep sound when I went into the barn. I dropped some feed & scratch for him, and watched about 5 of the older girls circle round with him to get their share. My son commented that one of the girls was following him everywhere last time, and I noticed she was right with him again today. The boys in the other barn made a similar noise when we filled the feeders in there, but it wasn’t as obvious as it was when I first got out there. I am actually incubating some eggs, so it will be interesting to see how many fertile eggs are in the bunch. Both flocks can intermingle, but aside from an ISA, a legbar, and the Ancona, the new flock tends to stay on their side of the field, and the old flock plus their new man hang on the other side. Very interesting dynamic to watch indeed. I had no time to take pictures as I was muddy after working, but thought I’d share a story instead. Hopefully the story counts as tax!
Often I get lost in translation too. Baby talk: Beans are not the same kind of veggies (vegetables) as veggie-roots and veggie-leaves. The roots and leaves don’t contain that much proteins.
For me, cooking beans
takes way too much time to prepare.
