BEANS-RICE-GREENS, oh my!

https://youtu.be/esAkScNONDQ

Well it looks like I have inadvertently fallen into the BEANS-RICE-GREENS diet!

I just made that up… but clearly somebody thought of it before I did! Yes of course, like my grandmother’s people. Their lifestyle as a whole intrigues me… but particularly their diet.

www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/05/03/151932410/man-cannot-live-on-rice-and-beans-alone-but-many-do

Eliminating the tortilla or bread, squeezing the juice of lime or lemon on top for vitamin C & adding a dollop of salt free chunky salsa w/ corn makes this an exceptionally healthy choice. It’s filling, full of B vitamins & fiber, good protien & calcium, low in sodium & fat (choose no added salt or oil), very low cost, and it’s just plain delicious! 

I’ll be preparing Jasmine brown rice AND steamed greens together in my stainless inner rice cooker from Amazon (OYAMA Stainless 16-Cup (Cooked) (8-Cup UNCOOKED) Rice Cooker, Stainless Steel Inner Pot, Stainless Steamer Tray).

I’m going to make the BEANS-RICE-GREENS diet an integral element of this basic daily menu:

* Breakfast: OATS w/ BERRIES

* Lunch: BEANS-RICE-GREENS

* Supper: GREENS-RICE-BEANS! 

I was inspired by the simple lifestyle of this fifty-something year old Tarahumara couple of northwestern Mexico. It’s a hard life for them, but they suffer little from the diseases of their western neighbors.
