FAQs

Do all the beans cook in the same time?
Approximately — they are selected to cook at a similar rate. Soak overnight and cook together for 60–90 minutes. The kidney beans require the initial 10-minute vigorous boil for safety.

Do these need soaking?
Yes — soak 8–12 hours. Remember to boil vigorously for 10 minutes before simmering due to the kidney bean content.
