Preparation & storage
Storage
Store dried beans in a cool, dry and dark place. This will keep them good for at least a year. After more than a year, the skin hardens a bit and you need a longer soaking and cooking time.
Preparation
You can soak the black-eyed beans but it is not necessarily necessary. Cook the black-eyed beans for 40-60 minutes until tender.
Black-eyed beans retain their structure, making them great for use in salads, for example.
The black-eyed beans themselves have a nice sweet taste, but they also absorb the flavours of other products well.
