Best dried split peas according to redditors

Sure. This stuff is supposed to help the flavor of lentils and help digestion. Heat in ghee and fry beans in it for a minute.

I've bought split pea 4lbs $15.

garbanzo Takes a long time to cook to soft. Pressure cooker?

I bought some brown lentils, but they weren't split, and still had the shell. Little more chewy than I like.

These were a very good no soak substitute for navy beans. Bit pricey.

I tried these in chili and they were good. No soak. Small, sweeter than kidney. Fast cook.

I've been using chili and white chili kits from the grocery store, a pound of beans, a bit of chicken for meat, diced tomato, onion, peppers, and any other vegies I want to use up.

I love this "refried" beans recipe in the crock pot. You can use dry black beans, pinto beans, or a combo of both. It's great with rice, tortillas, or just as a soup with a chopped avocado on top. It makes a large amount, but freezes and thaws easily and the only fresh ingredients you need is the pepper and the onion which are both used up (I use the whole pepper). I like to make "fajita bowls" like at Chipotle with rice, beans, sautéed peppers and onions, salsa, avocado, etc.

I also love Chana Masala (Indian-spiced chickpeas, serve with rice or flatbread). I use this slowcooker recipe but there's hundreds of great recipes online. If you have the spices, all you need to buy are chickpeas and canned tomatoes. I skip the cilantro and use dried.

Side note: I buy all my beans dried because it's cheaper and I don't like using a lot of canned food. Costco sells huge bags of black beans and I buy chickpeas in big bags from Amazon. International grocery stores sell dried beans very cheaply.
