These organic pinto beans are small and beige with brown streaks when dry, but they turn fully brown when cooked. You can use them in just about anything—chilis, casseroles, soups, and salads—or you can refry or mash them and season with garlic, chili powder, lime, etc., for a delicious spread. Equivalents: 1 pound dried beans = 2 cups dried beans = 6 cups cooked beans. Sort and rinse thoroughly before cooking. Sourced from Azure Standard; grown in Idaho. Cooking Instuctions: Add 10 cups hot water for every 2 cups beans. Heat to boiling and boil 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside for 1 hour. Discard soak water. Place soaked, rinsed, and drained beans in large saucepan with fresh hot water. Water should cover beans by about 1 inch. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil to reduce foaming and boil-overs, and skim off any foam that forms. Boil for 10 minutes, then simmer until tender (approximately 1 to 2 hours). Add seasoning while cooking, if desired. Order now in an exchangeable, reusable container. Already have a Full Circle bulk food container?
