Dried pulses
Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before
cooking. Soaking makes the pulses more digestible and
shortens the cooking duration required.
Exception: Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking.
Soaked pulses must be covered with liquid when cooked.
Dried pulses must be cooked with a certain ratio of pulses to
liquid.
