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.

This is where the gas mask in your bug out bag comes in handy.

What are you going to do with them, vacuum sealing them in canning jars works great for them as well

We've done a variety of different types of dry beans; pinto, navy, tiger eye... When we soak them, we go ahead and cook them down and freeze them in freezer bags (6 or so at a time) so they are ready to go. We've never had issues doing it that way.
