1. Pan-Charred Beans with Bean Leaf Pesto

Everyone eats green beans. But who eats bean greens? Well, you do now! It might seem strange to pick the leaves off plants you’re normally prizing for their pods, but bean leaves are in fact edible and taste like a milder version of their podded counterparts. When pureed into this Pan-Charred Beans with Bean Leaf Pesto by Linda Ly, bean leaves add a deeper, greener, earthier element to these slender French beans. The bean-on-bean flavor is rich and savory, with a warm charred aroma. If picking leaves off your own plants, spread the harvest across the whole crop so you don’t affect the growth of the pods.

2. Watermelon Rind and Jalapeño Pickles

The rind of a watermelon might not be as sweet as the flesh, but it’s reminiscent of a melon crossed with cucumber: fresh, crisp, and mild. In fact, you can pickle it much like you’d pickle a cucumber and eat it the same way. These Watermelon Rind and Jalapeño Pickles by Linda Ly piled high on a delicious taco are where the sweet, sour, and spicy notes do a dance party on the tongue.

Reducing your meat intake and eating more plant-based foods is known to help with chronic inflammation, heart health, mental wellbeing, fitness goals, nutritional needs, allergies, gut health, and more!
