Key Points

  • Serving size: 3/4 cup
  • Before preparing dried beans, sort through for tiny pebbles or shriveled beans.
  • Dried beans need to be soaked before they are cooked.
  • The best way to soak dried beans is to cover them in cold water and bring to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and allow beans to soak in the water for 1-2 hours.  Do not add salt to the soaking water.  Drain water and rinse with fresh water.
  • To cook beans, cover with fresh water and simmer for 1-2 hours.  Do not let beans dry out, beans should always be covered with water.
