Note: Left over ingredients can be stored. You can also use black beans, lentils, chickpeas, and other legumes, they are a crucial source of protein in a plant-based diet. It's possible to include them even without cooking. Soaking legumes until they're soft and rinsing them thoroughly can make the beans safe to eat raw.
