About grains and pulses
Dry store-cupboard staples sold by weight rather than in a supermarket box, which is what makes them cheaper per kilo. This pack is 500 g net. At the quantities below that is about 8 servings.
Also known as dried beans, wholegrains, za liang, multigrain.
Images are for reference only. The actual product may vary slightly from the images shown.
What people use it for
Cooked into porridge, soups, sweet soups, rice blends and drinks, depending on which one it is.
How to prepare it
Most beans want a rinse and a soak of 4 hours or overnight, then 45 to 90 minutes of simmering. Small grains such as millet and quinoa need no soak and cook in 15 to 20 minutes.
Keeping it
Airtight and dry, away from heat. In Singapore, an airtight jar rather than the bag - grains draw weevils.
Questions people ask
Do I have to soak them?
Large beans yes, overnight or at least four hours. Small grains such as millet, quinoa and buckwheat do not need it.
How should I store grains in Singapore?
Airtight, and the freezer for the first few days if you buy in bulk. Humidity and weevils are the two things that spoil them.
How far does this pack go?
At the quantity in the instructions above, about 8 servings from this pack.
