Preparation & Cooking Guidelines
Because these are raw, dried beans, they require simple preparation before consumption:
- Soaking: Soak the dry beans in plenty of cold water for a minimum of 2 hours (or overnight for optimal tenderness).
- Rinsing: Drain and rinse thoroughly with clean, cold water.
- Boiling: Place in a pot with fresh water. Bring to a boil and boil vigorously for 10 minutes (to safely destroy natural plant toxins).
- Simmering: Reduce the heat and simmer gently for approximately 50 minutes, or until the beans reach your desired level of tenderness. Do not eat them raw.
