Surprised to not find "refrig", "shelf", or "storage" occur once in TFA.
One of the major advantages to beans is they're a healthy protein source you don't even have to refrigerate/keep frozen to store. Sacks of dried beans will last a very long time provided you keep them dry and away from vermin.
I've cooked decade-old dried black beans found in a "kitchen stuff" box after emptying a storage unit and they were perfectly fine.
- bombcar 3y agoBeans and rice in sealed containers are perfect "forever" food, all you really need is a source of water.
- pengaru 3y agoYeah, it's incredible, as if nature evolved a way for the seeds of life to endure decades of drought or something...
- crgwbr 3y agoThe main issue with beans from a “prepping” standpoint is the amount of energy (fuel) required to rehydrate and cook very old, very dry beans. Lentils are way better in this regard—they keep just as long but cook much faster.
