Storage & tools
- Store in a cool, dry pantry (under 21 °C / 70 °F) away from direct sunlight.
- Use airtight containers to keep humidity out — dry ingredients gain 1–2 % mass in humid air.
- Rotate stock: first in, first out, even when the product looks unchanged.
- Check best-by dates; potency can fade before the product looks old.
Store airtight in a cool, dark pantry; older beans may need longer soaking.
FAQ
- Do I peel before measuring?
- Measure whole dry beans; peel after cooking if the recipe calls for it.
