One of my favorites is sweet potato/ garbanzo bean soup. 1 can garbanzo beans (chick peas) 2 sweet potatoes, cooked and peeled 3 cups water Sprinkle in spices to taste: Salt Pepper Garlic Cumin Coriander Paprika Empty can of garbanzo bean and 1 cup water into a large pot and bring to a boil Drizzle of avocado oil

[@christinagardener1889]

Add in sweet potatoes, spices, and drizzle of avocado oil. Use an emersion blender to puree, while adding remaining water a little at a time.

My favorite is beans with a smoked ham hock with some onion and bay leafs. YUM & cornbread. 😋

[@SuttonsDaze]

[@maryhudak673]

My favorite bean recipe too! Great minds think alike😉

[@leewright1183]

Here’s a helpful tip for everyone, especially if you’re storing your beans for an uncertain future. After an overnight soak, drain the water, add fresh, and use a pressure cooker (not necessarily a pressure canner). It saves so much time, and fuel! Cooking times vary by bean variety, but it’s so quick and easy. Imagine tender beans in 4-8 minutes!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Great tip

[@bumblebee7922]

Plus, using an Instant Pot cuts down on the bad Phytic Acid from beans. WIN WiN!!

[@miamited69]

I just put in dry and water about one inch above them. cook time varies by bean from as little as 2 minutes to 30. Instapot has a chart on their site.

[@conniekline9881]

Can you offer more specifics on how to use the pressure cooker?

[@cm9743]

Just a story for you. Last year I found a couple bags of navy beans that were sitting in the back of a cupboard and to my recollection they were about 10-15 years old. No kidding! Anyways, the beans were in the original package, as I did not know any better back then. I decided to make a navy bean soup with them just to test. To my shock and amazement the soup was absolutely excellent. You would not have been able to tell they were over 10 years old. Who knew that even if you don't do anything with beans they are still good for years and years!

[@theIAMofME]

I'm here to tell you...if you live in the South with such HIGH HUMIDITY this would not work. If you live in a dry climate...may be. I don't think any bean would last that long here. I'm in the South...not even the deep south and that wouldn't work here.

[@cm9743]

@@theIAMofME Wow! With that kind of humidity you would certainly have to use Mylar Bags and oxygen Absorbers to preserve your dried goods, otherwise you would be just wasting your money. Take care and blessings.

[@sandys.1891]

We eat primarily pinto beans and I've had a horrible time keeping pintos usable over time. Learning to put a 1/4 tsp baking soda in the overnight soaking water (per lb) has helped tremendously but they still need way longer cook times. I need to learn to use navy beans in more recipes.

How funny that you're talking about grinding up the beans. I'm making red lentil crepes today. You can make pasta out of bean flour. No home mill? You can buy a lot of them already ground, like chickpea flour.

[@TS-ed5nt]

I store mine in 5 gallon food grade buckets. I add some DE and bay leaves to the inside of the bucket then place a large Mylar bag in the bucket, pour in the beans, add the Oxygen absorbers, and seal the bag with my flat iron. I add more bay leaves to keep the bugs away and add a gamma lid. Been doing it that way for years.

[@SuttonsDaze]

Awesome!

[@LindaCBMediaGroup]

I grew up eating pinto and dried lima beans. My mom's favorite was pintos, and my dad's was dried lima beans, with dumplings. One of my first cooking chores was sorting thru the beans, and putting them to soak. I like just about any kind of bean, but I don't like split peas. I've never been able to learn to like sweet peas, cooked from fresh shelled, or canned, yet I love snow peas, and sugar snap peas, especially in stir fried dishes. One of the coolest things I have learned about cooking with dried beans is that when you serve then with rice, you actually are getting a "complete protein". I just did a Google search to find the name of the cooking show on PBS, it was the Frugal Gourmet, and that's where I first learned that about beans. I actually met the host, Jeff Smith when he was doing a meet and greet at a cooking store in Philly in the mid 80's. Sadly I no longer have that cookbook. He did a great number of dishes that included dried beans.

LOVE beans. Chili, hummus, refried beans, red beans & rice, split pea soup, bean & bacon soup... and my husband has a secret passion for beanie weenies on nights he has to feed himself. I have a sort of 3-way rotation system: dried in storage - dried in kitchen pantry - ready to eat on canning shelf. For daily use, I prefer the convenience of ready-cooked canned beans and I always keep several assorted types on my canning shelf. I love to can beans starting with dry beans and whenever I have an empty space during a canning run, as long as the timing is a correct match, it is so easy to just fill a jar with whatever type I might be getting lowest on and add it to the canner!

[@ponygirl1073]

We always sorted, washed & soaked our pinto beans (which we eat a lot of) with a pinch of baking soda, overnight. Then we rinsed & added fresh water & cooked on the stove. It only took an hour for the beans to be done. We did add salt just as they were softening & then completed the cooking. Oh they are so yummy☺️

[@janettemetzger7644]

I've been learning about beans and lentils over the past year. Cooked and cooled, they're a great addition to salads. Also cooked brown or coral lentils added to chili stretches the ground beef and you don't really notice they're there.

I live in the Pinto Bean capital of the world!! No joke that’s what my tiny hometown is known for. We love doing a big crockpot of pinto beans with cornbread on the side.

[@danielledunavant3146]

How very timely! I just picked up a variety of beans from Dollar Tree; 1 lb for $1. Can't beat that! I soak them for 36-48 hrs changing the water once during the soak. It only takes 1/2 hr cook time that way. Then they go into the dehydrator and voila! Instant beans!! They can easily be ground up at that point to make bean powder for, well, anything. I throw these beans into just about everything. The long soak also helps with the 'gas' issue!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Great tips!

[@karmelicanke]

Thank you for the important point you made: beans must be soaked and cooked before being used as powder or bean flour, especially is using kidney beans. Red kidney beans contain relatively high amounts of phytohemagglutinin, and thus are more toxic than most other bean varieties if not pre-soaked and subsequently heated to the boiling point for at least 10 minutes. The US Food and Drug Administration recommends boiling for 30 minutes to ensure they reach a sufficient temperature long enough to completely destroy the toxin.[2] Cooking at the lower temperature of 80 °C (176 °F), such as in a slow cooker, can increase this danger and raise the toxin concentration up to fivefold.[3] Canned red kidney beans, though, are safe to eat straight from the can, as they are cooked prior to being shipped. As few as five raw beans or a single undercooked kidney bean can cause severe nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pains.[4][5][6]

I love your posts and the posts of others that seem as if they're on the same page as I am. They're just down to earth common sense things. I've always liked to learn and pass it on. I ran across a prepper page the other day. There were lots of posts that either offered advice or shared ideas. I thought I'm old and was raised making something out of nothing, I might have some stuff in my head that some people would appreciate learning. Well, I think I was on it almost 2 weeks. Some people were nice. Most just wanted to brag how many 5 gallon buckets of rice and beans or how many boxes of ammo they had. Just the mention of getting a tablet (the kind you write on with a pencil) and planning out what you would need to get by on from one gardening time to the next was met with a comment about how stupid was I to think tablets would still work. I explained what I meant and said for instance if you want to have green beans one meal a week, you need to put up or buy 52 cans of green beans. All most of them talked about was having a year's worth of toilet paper! It's been way over a year since we were told to 'pick up a couple weeks worth of groceries just in case'. This is even more likely to happen again and wouldn't be near as much of a surprise. I finally told myself the entertainment value and anything I might glean from the page wasn't worth some of the ignorance and I mean simple ignorance not stupidity or meanness that I was coming across. A suggestion that learning how to make vinegar for tinctures just in case the drug stores were cleaned out again brought bunches of comment like I have a year's worth of everything I'll ever need. Good luck with that. A year is shorter than it looks. I've decided to pay more attention to people like you that seem to know what they're doing and hope you have better luck than me.

I have almost 70 lbs of assorted beans/peas/lentils in storage. Currently, I vacuum seal in 1 or 2 lb packs then store in a heavy duty rubbermaid style tote. But you are correct - I've found that vacuum sealer bags can eventually lose their vacuum tightness. I check them several times a year and move any that look like they are not tightly sealed into my regular kitchen rotation. Any new supply I add to replace ones I've used I'm going to switch to the oxygen absorber/mylar bag method and hope that works better.

I've been following your page for a little while. I appreciate all of your time and knowledge. I have a question. When harvesting (fresh) peas (black eye, sadandy, butter bean, zipper, and purple hull) from the garden, what is the best way to preserve them? Freezing? Canning? Dehydrating? If dehydrating is best, how do you reseal after using a small portion? Can you point me in the direction for helpful videos? Thank you so much for helping!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Personally, I freeze my lincoln peas. I don't grow the others. When it comes to canning you need to dry them first. I think dried beans are the easiest to deal with. After you open the container of dried beans, all you need to do is close it again, air tight. If you want, vacuum seal the container.

[@chiledoug]

cheap an I love beans...yes thow away the soak water .Dried beans and peas contain anti-nutrients, which are naturally-occurring plant compounds (i.e., phytates) that can limit the body’s absorption of nutrients from these foods. Soaking beans overnight, discarding the water, then cooking them in fresh water can help reduce the amount of anti-nutrient compounds. As an added benefit, it can reduce the complex sugars in beans that are linked with gas and bloating

Be careful beans do dry out, if not nitrogen pack. Loss of bean moisture. You can grind them , First break up the beans. Then run them thru grinder coarse, then fine. DO NOT GRIND AT ONCE. Or you will be passing wind 🌬 a lot.

Grab a few, soak and then cook and see if they rehydrate. That will tell you. If they don't, you can grind the rest

I have no idea if they are any good. YOU will have to test and see. She told you how in the video. One thing I will say...don't store you beans and rice in a room with LIGHT and not in AIR tight storage. Go to a big box store and get some heavy contractor bags. If there is light in the room you are storing stuff in...STOP IT! If you can...put these bags with thump tacks over the window(s) and black out the room. Depending on which direction the windows are facing....you might want to put on a double thickness to the windows. Like she said LIGHT is a huge factor. If you don't have a room you can black out...clean out your closests and use the room you can. Vaccum seal what you can to save them.

@@theIAMofME I asked Lisa and she answered, but thank you. I do have a pantry where my food is stored in the dark. We also have food under the bed in storage and in the closet. These were just some beans I had in my kitchen that were excess and I did not have a place for them. We recently bought another cabinet to store more food in so now I have added room. Thus why I asked Lisa about them.
