How Long Do Dried Beans Last? (Not Forever, Sorry)
Dried beans: When the world ends, they will still be in your pantry, ready to become soup at a moment’s notice. Right?
Sadly, it is not so.
Just because you can keep dried beans forever does not necessarily mean it will be helpful. Old beans will take longer to cook, and the oldest beans will stay tough and chewy no matter how long (within reason), they simmer. If you find yourself cooking soaked beans for more than two hours, and they just will not soften, it may be your beans…not you.
