Both the cooking time and the taste of the dish will depend on the correct choice of beans.
- First, pay attention to the flowability of the beans. They should not stick to each other and be moist. It should look shiny with a smooth skin.
- Don’t buy beans that are damaged – cracked, punctured, or wrinkled. Old beans will take a long time to cook and contain fewer vitamins than fresh beans.
- Store beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Put a clove of garlic in the jar to keep the beans from getting bugs.
- Cooked beans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week and in the freezer for several months.
