Black Beans

Easy to Prepare — a little makes a lot

• First, sort beans for any foreign matter and then rinse. Some cooks like to do a preliminary soak by soaking beans in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
• After optional soaking drain and rinse beans.
• Next, place beans in a pot, cover with sufficient water, and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, adding water as needed. Simmer time will vary depending on soak time and size of bean.
• Alternatively, some cooks prefer to use crock pot techniques.
• Note: As with any supply of dry natural beans, this product may contain small pebbles, so please remember to sort your beans first.

Yield — 1 cup weighs about 1/2 pound. 2 cups of dry beans equals about 5-6 cups cooked beans.

Storage — Best if used within 24 months. Store tightly sealed in a dry location away from sunlight.
