Process of Titrating Red Kidney Beans


The first step of titrating beans is to get 50g of precooked red kidney beans from a can and 200ml of distilled water and blended it until liquified. After that is done we put 200ml of the red kidney bean solution into a water vacuum to filtrate the solution. The rest that was clumps of beans in the filter was thrown away.

Process Of Titrating Kale


The first thing we did to titrate kale was we got 50g of kale and 200ml of distilled water and blended it. After we blended it we put 200ml of the kale solution into a water vacuum to filter the kale. Add small amounts into the vacuum filter and if needed replace the filter paper when you notice there is no suction.
