Steaming Legumes/was to Storm re: eating fish occassionally

[Guest guest]

I am going to eat legumes several times each week (black-eyed peas

and aduzuki beans). I have not heard of steaming legumes, only

boiling them and adding salt. I guess I would just put them in a

steamer like veggies and would still want to soak them overnight.

Right?
