Black beans, dry

Dry black beans are staple Latin pulses that cook tender with deep color and earthy flavor.

Soak then simmer for soups, refried beans, burritos, rice and beans, or salads.

Storage & tools

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Keep dry beans sealed cool and dark; cooked beans last 4–5 days refrigerated.
