BEAN STORAGE

BEAN STORAGE

1.)   Dried beans & lentils should not be stored longer than a year for they will harden with age and become difficult to cook.

2.)  To store soaked beans for a day or two, cover and refrigerate.  If they are to be used at a later time, simply store in a container and freeze.

3.)  To store when cooked, cool by stirring constantly. After temperature has dropped place beans in an container and refrigerate.  A prepared dish can remained refrigerated 3 to 4 days after preparation.

Always remember to keep hot foods hot, and cold foods cold.
