good stuff & rich in lysine unlike other legumes

add garlic/thyme to the cooking pot

pair w/ rice and some browned onions

can be eaten pretty much daily

also the mighty garbanzo. i can run on a bowl of garbanzos + olive oil for the whole day. add spinach when reheating for nutrition.

when eating dark greens use some calcium to bind the oxalates (even though greens are rich in calcium). since dairy is not an option... maybe almonds or seeds (sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, etc.--or chia) or tofu? but no cuz these are high in oxalates too. i don't know.

good Mg++ in sunflower + pumpkin too.

for b12, "nutritional yeast"

for probiotics, sauerkraut (refrigerated not canned)

best wishes.

ETA: i did a little research (was puzzled). ORANGES for the oxalates. at the end of the meal, like a chinese restaurant.
