What do you know about beans?
Looking to store up some dry beans. I have no idea what kind to store. Will probably do the Costco bulk purchase.
What kind cook up fairly easy, store long term, and can be used in a variety of dishes?...if possible would like to avoid the types that need to soak over night...but, maybe there is no way around that?
If you got a few ideas please share.
We use yellow eye beans, I have an aversion for kidney beans since I almost died from them as a kid.
Don't eat kidney beans raw kids, they are not peanuts!
You are going to have to let them soak, we find it easier to just do big batches at a time and then pressure can them so they are ready to go.
My buddy started a gentleman's farm as he likes to call it and has been getting pretty serious with beans, he is selling quite a lot but it's a one man job and he does everything by hand, this is his bean sorting table he made.

K, very nice to have a set up like that!
I think we are going to re-look at what is available and experiment with 'small' bags first, then make a larger purchase when we have it figured out for us.
So, the great Bean experiment starts this weekend at my house...not sure I want the consequence's though.
