I’m growing a so-called Puerto Rican black bean variety and I just was able to take down my first pod that was pretty dry so thank you for this video so that I can make sure that they’re ready to be stored long-term. This will be the first jar of beans and preparation that I’ve made. ❤

Thanks Heidi.. I am going to learn from your past problems.. I have been just setting mine out to dry in the pods, And they do better since the stove is going. They get really undesirable if you take them out of the pod when the pods are green. We are not a wet climate, but we are a humid climate. I think those beans are so beautiful.. You have collected a lot of them to make jars full. I have been saving the pods for starting the smoker for my bees.. nice and dry and easy to start. Thanks for sharing your bean experience. Take care..

We have been canning almost everything that we get from the garden. I started using the leather britches a couple of years ago for the excess we got in the Fall. So it works well in humid climates. Quick question, what variety of beans do you use? Did you say runner? We plant the Kentucky half runner. It's a white bean an very tasty! But more of a bush type, and doesn't climb too much, although they took over the corn this year! Lol! Thanks for sharing!

Hi there! Could there be value to putting the shelled beans in a dehydrator? It's my first time trying to store dried beans from the garden (black beans), and I'm worried they could mold. I mainly let them dry on the plants, but did spread the pods out on a screen for a few days to dry outside. I'm in a fairly humid climate, though. And admittedly, this last little batch caught some rain. After that mistake, I shelled them and left them on the screen for a couple more days. They seem dry to the touch and hard, but I'm not sure how to tell they're good enough. Thank you for any thoughts :) I've learned a lot from your channel!
@RainCountryHomestead 4 жыл бұрын
It can be difficult to tell for certain if they are dry all the way through, I would leave mine for quite awhile close to the fire, many days, to be certain they were dry all the way through before putting in jars. Whenever you are dealing with seed, there can always be concern that too much heat from a dehydrator could damage the seed and prevent them from sprouting the next year if saving for seed. If saving for cooking, that would not be a problem. On the other hand, as with the dehydrated jalapeño seed I decided to try to plant as an experiment, those ones germinated and grew quicker than any of my store bought seed. Each type of seed can be different though but I would think keeping the dehydrator on a lower setting would dry them without damaging them.

Is the break bleed good for more than mason jars or would you need a food saver as well to do containers or baggie for the freezer?
@RainCountryHomestead 5 жыл бұрын
Though one could try to use it on ziplock bags, it may be difficult to get all the air out as you have to move fast to seal and it would not work on food saver bags. For ziplock, dipping in the bag carefully into water to push all the air out then seal while holding it there is the best way I know of

Next year I would love to grow beans for drying. I planted nearly 150 plants and our family of 6 ate them as fast as they would grow as green beans. With you having done this for dried beans, about how much per plant could you reasonably expect? I know it'll vary with variety/climate, etc., but what have you found to be a normal yield?
