FAQ
- Can I use frozen Lima beans, dry with the same gram values?
- Once fully thawed and drained, yes — freezing doesn't change mass. Don't weigh while still icy; ice trapped between pieces adds 5–10 % to the reading.
- Can I swap Lima beans, dry for another cooked grain/legume at the same gram weight?
- Mass equivalence works; hydration ratio and texture vary. Cooked quinoa, lentils and rice absorb different amounts of liquid per gram — taste-test when you swap.
