Cranberry Beans

Dried cranberry beans can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place indefinitely. Once cooked, they should be refrigerated and used within 3-4 days.

Soaking dried cranberry beans overnight (or using a quick-soak method) is recommended to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.

When cooking, add salt towards the end of the cooking process to prevent the beans from toughening.

Cranberry beans are delicious in soups, stews, and bean salads, and they hold their shape well.
