Beans are a great source of protein that can be stored indefinitely when properly done. Our bulk options include airtight 5 Kg. bags with all of the oxygen removed, a 15 lb. pouch, and 5 Gallon Life Latch® Screw Top Pails that have moisture resistant, airtight seals that will protect your stored beans for many years to come. These can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place for many, many years.
Our dried beans are:
- Grown traditionally on a small farm
- Glyphosate-tested and no trace found in our sample
- Can be stored indefinitely when properly stored
Beans can be prepared in many different ways, but if you plan to cook them on the stovetop, they most always benefit from a long soak before cooking and even a short soak is beneficial.
To long soak beans, simply put them in a container with a lid and add enough water to cover the beans by 2 inches. Add 2 tablespoons of salt per pound of beans and soak at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. Drain the beans before cooking.
To short soak, add the beans and salt to a pot with a lid, add water to cover the beans by 2 inches. Bring the beans to a boil and then remove from the heat and soak for an hour. Drain the beans before cooking.
If using a slow cooker or pressure cooker to prepare your beans then skip the soaking process and jump right into cooking!
Beans are a great addition to soups, chilies, casseroles and many other dishes.
