FAQ about guajes
As a low-calorie legume, guajes are full of many health benefits, no matter which way you eat them. Some of these benefits include the following:
- Calcium: You might not think of calcium in a non-dairy food, but guajes have plenty of calcium to help build, heal, and strengthen your bones.
- Fiber: Guajes also have an abundance of fiber, with one-third of the recommended daily intake. Fiber helps lower cholesterol levels, normalize bowel movements, and control blood sugar levels.
- Iron: Guajes have plenty of iron, which boosts your immune system and treats anemia.
- Protein: Like many other legumes, guaje seeds are packed full of protein, with more than 30% of your recommended daily intake. In fact, they've been used for decades as food for livestock since they have more nutrition than alfalfa.
If you're not quite ready to use the guaje pods, you can keep the legumes in the refrigerator for up to one week. Lightly wrap the whole guaje pods in plastic, and place them in the refrigerator. You don't need to separate them from the stem until you're ready to use them. Shelled seeds won't last nearly as long, though. Once you remove the seeds from the pods, place them in an airtight container and put them in the refrigerator. They should last for a few days this way.
