Softening Old Beans Can be Simple

For a while, my wife and I have talked about putting up an occasional you tube on cooking basics.  It seems we often run across people, who have no idea how to cook without opening a can.  So this will be the first one, it is on cooking and softening old beans that you have had in your storage.

Softening old beans is pretty simple and it works most of the time.  Occasionally you may find some beans that are still too hard.  Beans in this condition can be ground into bean flour and used in other recipes.  In the future, we will cover other cooking basics, since they are no longer taught in schools and everyone seems to depend on prepared and packaged foods.

If you have lots of beans in your long term storage, you may want to stock extra baking soda.  The U.S. Dry Beans Council recommends this method of softening old beans.

So if there is something you need to learn about cooking let us know and if we know the solution to your problem we will make a you tube on the subject
