Storage Methods

DRY BEAN STORAGE

Dry beans can be stored for approximately two years in an airtight glass or metal container or resealable bag. It’s best to store beans in a cool, dry place (70 degrees or below) and preferably not in the refrigerator.

COOKED BEAN STORAGE

Cooked beans can be stored safely for four days in the refrigerator or up to one year in the freezer. After cooking, rinse beans under cold water, and then pack in an airtight container or freezer bag. Be sure to leave some space in the container for expansion during freezing. Same goes for seasoned beans!

THAWING TIPS

Frozen beans should be thawed slowly to help the beans retain their shape. One of the best methods is to thaw overnight in the refrigerator or if you’d like you can let them thaw them at room temperature for several hours. If you’re in a rush, beans can be placed in a pan of warm water for about an hour.
