Black Beans

Preparing: place in a colander, sort thoroughly and remove any tiny pebbles; rinse under
cold water
How to soak: the larger the bean, the longer they need to soak. The longer you soak the
beans, the faster they cook. Soaking beans allows dried beans to absorb water, which
begins to dissolve the starches that causes intestinal discomfort. Soak beans in 3x their
volume of cold water for 6 hours before cooking.
1/3 cup dry beans=1 cup cooked beans

In the past, black beans were the perfect traveling food for Native Americans and

can be used in refried beans, bean dip, charro beans and pie!
