Beans offer a great range of gluten free cooking possibilities.\u00a0 This article expands on part I of this subject. This article lists more types of beans and their unique characteristics.<\/p>\n

Cannellini Beans<\/h2>\n

Cannellini beans originate from Argentina but have been widely adopted by Italian cuisine.\u00a0 They are creamy-white and are slightly larger and fatter than white haricot beans.\u00a0 They are also a bit more kidney-shaped.\u00a0 They have a fluffy texture and are often added to minestrone, which can be made gluten-free, and other Italian soups.\u00a0 They are also a key ingredient to tunna and bean salad (tonno e fagioli).<\/p>\n

Chickpeas<\/h2>\n

Also known as chana in India, or garbanzo beans, this is a versatile bean that is very useful in gluten-free cooking.\u00a0 Simple chana pancakes can be made of chickpea flour (gram), salt, making powder, water and a bit of oil. It is also a key ingredient of hummus, which can be used as a spread or dip.<\/p>\n

They are somewhat spherical in shape and have a creamy texture and nutty flavor.\u00a0 They are an important ingredient for Indian vegetarian cooking, which makes a good basis for gluten free vegetarian meals.<\/p>\n

If you want a smoother consistency to chickpea-based recipes, you can either remove the skin, which can be somewhat tough, or use a powerful blender such as a Vitamix to process them.\u00a0 If you remove the skin, do so after they have been cooked and cooled.\u00a0 This will remove valuable dietary fiber.<\/p>\n

Black Beans<\/h2>\n

Black beans are small, kidney-shaped shiny beans with a sweetish flavor.\u00a0 They are popular in African and Caribbean cooking and add a splash of colour to your cooking.<\/p>\n

Black-Eyed Peas<\/h2>\n

Also known as Black-eyed beans or cow peas.\u00a0 They are small beans with a creamy colour and a black spot on the side.\u00a0 They are a staple in Creole and Cajun food and are also used in some Indian cooking.\u00a0 Add them to soups and salads.\u00a0 They are the bean to use for Hoppin’ John, a Southern US dish of rice, tomatoes, onions and black-eyed peas.<\/p>\n
