Hi All,
Having recently added beans to my diet I find them a wonderful addition. I have been using canned beans, but these have tons of salt, many have HFCS and added sugars and there is not much variety of canned beans. I would thus like to make my own. I can get plenty of raw beans such as black, kidney, butter (lima), broad (fava), black-eye, pinto, lentils, chickpeas.
Being kind of anal, I normally always measure out foods before preparing a meal, but this aint exactly possible with beans as they have a long prep time. I thus wanted to know how long beans can be kept once they are prepared.

Hi there,
I mean after they are prepared. I know that you have to soak them overnight, and then you boil them for 40-60 minutes (depending on which beans they are). After that, how long can you keep them? Also, if I weight a certain amount out and soak them overnight, how long can they stand like that before the boiling process?
Thanks,

PS. No such luck with the organic or other healthier tinned beans - limited availability here in SA.

If you're going to make them from bulk you should do extra and then put them in a freezer bag laying flat in the freezer and they'll stay good for at least a month. Thats what I do. Comes in handy. Just take them out of the freezer and put them in the fridge the night before you want to use them to defrost them.

For canned beans, I put these in a strainer and wash off the sugars, salt etc.
I keep beans (rice and beans) for up to a week in the refrigerator. When I re-heat them I microwave with a cover to steam them.
