I know that you can cook the dry beans and then can them with a pressure canner. <br /><br />To be safe, maybe it would be good to try freezing a cupful of beans that you reserve from some other recipe. Haul them out of the freezer a month later and try thawing them to see what you've got.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-44639720923246724382010-12-15T13:37:57.366-06:002010-12-15T13:37:57.366-06:00Can you freeze the cooked beans?Can you freeze the cooked beans?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175852738416870200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-14579172253583659332010-07-01T07:54:28.055-05:002010-07-01T07:54:28.055-05:00We noticed that too, Meghan.

Another trick (for those who don't eat beans very often) is to throw a pinch of ginger into the beans -- not enough to taste the ginger but just a tiny bit to have a gas-reducing effect.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-83434212912911182492010-07-01T05:09:25.576-05:002010-07-01T05:09:25.576-05:00About the farting...just thought I'd throw thi...About the farting...just thought I'd throw this out there. If you eat beans often, like a few times/week or more, your body will adjust, and the beans won't make you gassy anymore.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182861834635420699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-64216109839598062012010-06-30T09:44:41.607-05:002010-06-30T09:44:41.607-05:00Ruth mentioned that extremely hard water stops the...Ruth mentioned that extremely hard water stops the beans from softening (or slows it considerably).
