Farmers Market Spotlight: Heirloom Beans

Date: Thursday, July 23

Time: 6-8:30pm

Description:

Learn how versatile the humble bean can be! Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and nutrients that support gut health and digestion, heirloom beans are as nourishing as they are flavorful. In this hands-on class, we'll source a variety of fresh and dried beans from Two Peas in a Pod Farm, a beloved family-owned and operated local farm and a staple at the Santa Barbara Farmers Market.

If you're intimidated by how to prepare dry beans, thought the term 'heirloom' only applied to tomatoes (or antiques...), or curious about the array of colorful legumes beyond green beans—we'd love to have you join us! We'll prepare and enjoy a protein and fiber-packed plant-based menu showcasing beans three ways.

On the menu:

• Rustic Heirloom Bean Stew with Seasonal Vegetables

• Summer Bean Salad

• Creamy Bean Dip with Fresh Herbs

Capacity = 12
