      Why do people drain the liquid? That’s free bean water!

      Seriously, if you’re cooking the beans, leave the liquid in, cook until it boils off. Trust me dawg

        It also has other uses - you can whip it into a creamy substance (search aquafaba for recipes)

        When boiling dried beans, I recommend tossing the water though: it can contain some mildly poisonous substances, and give you a tummy ache.
