These hearty Peruvian legumes are a superfood powerhouse. Dried chochos beans, also known as tarwi or lupini beans, are packed with nutrients and protein. High in fiber, iron, calcium and protein, these beans can be prepared in many of the same ways as other dried beans like black beans or pinto beans. Simply soak the dried beans overnight, then simmer until tender but still retaining their texture. Enjoy them as a protein-rich side dish or add to soups, stews and salads for a nutritional boost. At about 1/2 cup uncooked, these mini beans have a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and hold their shape well after cooking. For an easy weeknight meal, toss cooked chochos into taco meat or rice and beans for extra nutrients.
