I was watching someone. They said to save your old socks and put them over your glass jars. It helps to block the light and help with breakage.

oh my gosh.... I love the burlap bags...lol... cant believe jon just cut the top off... use the string jon...lol

Cook rice in chicken broth with a little butter. Salute dice onion, red bell pepper. Add cooked, drained beans to warm, season with salt, pepper and curry powder. Fry an egg, I like mine runny, the yolk tastes great oozing onto the rice and beans. Plate beans first, cover with rice, top with egg, salt the egg. I prefer jasmine rice.

I make a big batch of turkey taco filling with dark red kidney beans. I then freeze pint servings so I can grab one when in the mood for a taco salad. After defrosting, I'll toss some cheddar on top to melt while heating then toss with lettuce and top with crushed tortilla chips. The dressing varies, but often use salsa mixed with sour cream. Yum!

I have 45 different varieties actually. We eat beans several times a week. I'm with John.

I heard the names of the beans at the beginning of your video and knew EXACTLY where they came from! Dove Creek, Colorado! We’re 70 miles from Dove Creek. The beans are fabulous! Enjoy! 😊 ❤

Beans might be the most important long term food.storage item for me.

Ground beans cook in one minute. Good way to cook "hard" beans. Beans and rice. Beans and bread. Beans and meat. Hamburger and beans. Beans in chili. There is no end. If beans were discovered today they would be hailed as the miracle food. It really is. Refried beans. Beans and greens. Bean soup. Ready in 30 minutes in an instant pot.

This is a salad I discovered in Greece in 1998: Fasolia Salata (Haricot Bean Salad) You can use cannellini or haricot beans. (I've successfully substituted other white beans.) Cook 2 hard-boiled eggs and quarter them. Soak and cook 8 oz. beans. Drain them just before serving. Combine them in a bowl with 3-4 peeled and sliced shallots, 3 Tbsp. chopped parsley, and 2-3 Tbsp. of the bean cooking liquid. Mix the dressing together (6-7 Tbsp. olive oil, juice of a lemon, salt and pepper) and toss with the bean mixture. Serve on a plate and garnish with black olives (as many as you like) and hard-boiled eggs.

I get cases of 1 gallon jars (4 jars to a cast) from my local Mennonite store that I store all kinds of dry goods in, everything from spaghetti, crackers, rice, beans, etc.. Instead of wasting money on oxygen absorbers, I invested in a vacuum pump and a 5 gallon metal pail/with lid, to use as a vacuum chamber. Not I can vacuum seal any and all sizes of jars, using the vacuum chamber. And yes, I have vacuum sealed chocolate chips for over 8 years and they are just as fresh as the day I bought them.

Do a veggie soup and add beans. Beans and carrots.

We love beans and also have some Anasazi beans. They are so pretty and yummy! I also love that you referenced Dr Gregor; he is a smart guy!

When I wash and sanitize 2 liter soda bottles, for example, to use for dry food storage, I dry them in the Excalibur dehydrator. Take out the trays. Stack the bottes on their sides with the mouth pointing towards the fan in the back. Turn heat to high. Generally it takes about 20 minutes for them to be bone dry. Don't have to wait for 2 days while they air dry. If may be possible to rig up something with a hair dryer to help with the drying process. Perhaps laying a milk crate on it's side. Fill with bottles with the opening pointing out. Then use the dryer. Just warming the wet bottles, will help them dry faster.

I have some of the Anastasi beans. They are pretty. I planted some to see if I can grow some for myself. Waiting to see. FYI: I got my 2 gallon buckets at HEB (a Texas store) or Walmart bakery. I even got some at Costco. Blessings!

We've tried to look into making bags that are the shape of the bucket. So far, the best we can devise is a bag with a gusset at the bottom, but there isn't any equipment in existence that can make a bag with a wide enough gusset. We're not giving up, though! 🤞🏽

When I store in mason jars, I wait a few weeks till I have like 10 full after freeze drying food, I put all the jars in the freeze dryer on test mode for the vacuum. I leave it on for about 35 seconds and it’s the best seal you can get.

Oh darn, I have no excuse to not take care of my dried beans! I have mylar and a jar sealer.

Great demonstration!

Thanks

Great video. Thanks.

What a great video! I'm packaging beans tomorrow!

Terrific, thank you Jonathan and Kylene. Happy trails!

You two are so cute together! 🥰. Thank You for all of the advice that allows me to improve my food storage strategy!

Thanks guys.

Thank you!

Love you guys!

Great video!! You two rock

One dried bean I would not keep would be kidney beans (which if undercooked can cause serious illness and even death) and if there's ever a time when you might be experiencing poor cooking techniques it's during a grid-down situation when you are stressed and in a hurry.

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

I love beans also! I am not as crazy about rice so am trying to cook other grains. I haven't been totally successful with millet. It never seems to get totally soft...even after soaking overnight. I am not sure if that is just the way it is.

Anasazi beans are the ones I prefer to store and use I find they taste like pintos but slightly creamier and cook in half the time of regular pintos. Of course I should quantify that I don't use the soaking method I clean wash well and for a pound of beans 6 cups of water season to taste

For your long-term storage, do you freeze them first? I’ve started freezing my beans and my rice and then letting them come back to room temperature before storing them. I’ve heard there can sometimes be the critters that live inside and can destroy them. I heard you mention preventing that in the video but I wasn’t sure what you do to prevent it

Great video. Thanks. So which method do you prefer glass jars or mylar bags.

Awesome team! Thanks for sharing the knowledge & knowhow of Storage.

Can I use a plastic container, a large pretzel container, with oxygen absorbers?

Ha! My husband could live off of beans, rice , and avocado and would be loving life! :) Me, I'm more like you Kylene and prefer them sparingly or mixed with other things in a soup, chili or taco meat.

Where do you get your Anasazi beans from? I can only get a one pound bag at IFA, when and if they have them. I use to pick them up directly from them in Dove Creek, Colorado as I drove through from visiting family in the Four Corners area. Family moved.

I have vacuum sealed beans in jars but also in the food saver bags. You did not mention the bag method, is it not an aceptable way to store beans? I've also used bags to vacuum seal chocolate chips too..... is that ok? Thank you, hoping that you will answer😊

Do you need to store them in the Mylar bags and the buckets? Or can you use them independently?

Yay for beans! I'm just curious, I thought you said in another video that one should NOT use oxygen absorbers in plastic. Will you please clarify for me? Thanks. ❤

The 5 gallon bucket full of beans, with 4 adults eating them every day. Would you guestimate how long one bucket would last the 4 adults, eating one meal per day ? Sorry i'm new to this

What is the best source for bulk beans?

Is it okay to put the bag of beans or rice in its original bag into a vaccum seal bag and seal it .

How do you feel about cooking beans and freeze drying then for long term storage? In case you are afraid of having to conserve cooking fuel?

Could red or green lentils be stored the same way? Do they need a oxygen absorber after putting them in the freezer in mylar bags?

Would olive oil dark bottles work

My husband and I probably grew those Anasazi Beans!! 🫘 we farm 2300 acres. If you know where those beans come from you will know why.

Hi 👋 Where can I purchase #10 cans?

QUESTION. WHAT SIZE OF MYLAR BAG GOES INTO THE 2 GALLON BUCKETS

Another channel said that no matter what method you use to store beans, after 2 or 3 years they harden and become inedible, regardless of how long you cook them. Is that true in your experience?
