Beans and Lentils
The types of beans and lentils known in the United States as legumes, and in other parts of the world as pulses, are a vital component of the gluten-free diet because they
supply important fiber and protein. Keep a stash of these legumes in your pantry: canned beans such as black, cannellini (white kidney), kidney, and pinto. Canned lentils are
also handy. Dry beans—such as red beans, black beans, and split peas—and lentils are much more economical than canned ones, and they belong in your pantry.
