Dried Beans
 

Other day I soaked big butter beans for around 14 hrs. then cooked about 8 hrs. Were still firm, but eatable.
I had no idea that they would get old.
From interweb. Well they still swell and taste alright. Just didn't cook down.
THD-drift. Other night I fixed Sloppy Joes. As I was digging the crap out of the easy open can I had a flash-back.
Over 60 years ago, times were a little tight. My Mom would pour a little vinegar in the katchup bottle, shake it, to get the last drop. I learned quick to never ask for ketchup when the bottle was about empty. Yuk

I always soak mine overnight. But I had not heard that about beans either. I wonder if they were stored differently would they last longer.

Survivalist canning, in nitrogen. The inner oils can't go very far.
