{"product_id":"peeled-beans-1kg","title":"Peeled Beans 1kg","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeeled beans are legumes with their tough outer skins removed. In West African cuisine, this usually refers to peeled black-eyed peas or Oloyin beans — essential for making Akara and Moin-Moin. They are processed to remove the outer skin, enhancing digestibility and nutrient absorption. Their streamlined preparation allows for versatile culinary applications and improves cooking efficiency. With a high protein content averaging 20-25%, they provide a substantial source of essential nutrients for balanced diets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📋 \u003cstrong\u003eDetailed Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Appearance: Creamy white\/pale yellow, smooth texture (no speckles)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Nutrition (Dried, per 100g): 334kcal | 23g protein | 60g carbs | 24g fiber | Low fat | Rich in iron \u0026amp; folate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Dietary: Vegan, Gluten-Free, Halal, Allergen-Free\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Shelf Life: 8–12 months (dry); 3–4 days refrigerated (cooked); 6 months frozen (cooked)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍳 \u003cstrong\u003eCooking Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e (West African Style)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eAkara\u003c\/strong\u003e (Bean Fritters)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
