I made the most amazing kung pao soy curls last night. Spicy and amazingly delicious. I am loving my new wok!

Actually, I recently had a conversation with my dentist about chipped teeth, and we blamed nuts more than anything.Nope, although I Only buy Organic rice and lentils so I don’t worry much about it… I do try to look for stones before cooking the lentils…
Years ago I actually broke a tooth on a stone that was in a tin of lentils!
.I have tried that method, but sometimes I can't eat it fast enough, as it's just me. I need to focus on one or two greens a week, rather than having a big variety of things that can go bad, lol. I actually stick the fresh bag in the freezer, and once I open it, I put it in a Zip Loc bag.I put my fresh kale in the fridge in the plastic bag with two pieces of paper towel on each side to wick the moisture away - the bag is open at the end with the ends of the paper towel sticking out. I hadn't thought of freezing it (although I do keep frozen bought kale).
Last night I had my noodley soup with cabbage and kale and soy curls and other veggies - so nice to have it for dinner instead of lunch.

I carefully go over the beans or rice I buy from the bulk section of my health food store before I rinse and soak them, picking out any such things. Oddly, I can't remember having such problems when I've bought oats or rice in bulk, although I do look through the rice before I cook it. I eat my oats uncooked; any hard, tooth-damaging inedible bits would be easy for me to see as I'm putting about a cupful into the bowl.Actually, I recently had a conversation with my dentist about chipped teeth, and we blamed nuts more than anything.
Now that I think about it, I would not be surprised if a few impurities in rice, lentils, beans, etc. may have caused me a bit of damage. Like others here have said, these things sit in warehouses, are shipped across the world, etc.
I too buy organic, but may begin paying more attention to washing.
I was able to buy some aweomse ready to eat Indian chana masala, spicy, and so I made souped up rice - I put some frozen veggies in a pot, then added two packages of the chana masala and the huge can of chick peas (I found them in the Indian section of the grocery store for just $1.29 and they were massive cans) - heated it all up together as the few chick peas in the premade meals are not sufficient - served over the rice - with leftovers...
I will go back and buy more of those cans as they had red kidney beans also - the chick peas were very tasty and the smaller cans normally cost me $1.50 so this is a great deal.
