meet the legume ladies
We’re Kari, Anna, and Bry. We started The Magical Fruit to bring awareness to the quiet overacheivers of the pantry: legumes, pulses, and beans. You can expect science-backed benefits, tasteful humor (in the form of flatulance), elegant (and not so elegant) plates and the occasional reminder that chickpeas are doing more for you than most people.
IN THE KITCHEN
Whether tossed in a salad, simmered in a stew, or blended into a dip, legumes are a simple, delicious way to fuel your body with clean, long lasting energy.
Golden Red Lentil Dal
A staple of Indian cuisine, this comforting stew is packed with protein and inflammatory turmeric.
Mediterranean Chickpea Salad
This “no -cook” recipe is incredibly refreshing and highlights the nutty texture of garbanzo beans.
Smoky Black Bean Burgers
A fantastic plant-based alternative to beef that doesn’t crumble on the bun.
