1
Soak beans by preferred method:
2
For each pound of dry beans, any variety, add 10 cups hot water.
3
May add up to 2 teaspoons of salt per pound of beans to help the beans absorb water more evenly. Heat to boiling, let boil 2 to 3 minutes.
4
Remove from heat.
5
Cover and set aside for at least one hour, but preferably four hours or more.
6
The longer soaking time is recommended to allow a greater amount of sugars to dissolve, thus helping the beans to be more easily digested.
7
Always discard the soak water.
8
To maintain color integrity, soak beans separately.
