A pantry staple with a creamy texture and mild, earthy flavor. Organic dried pinto beans cook up tender and versatile, working well in soups, stews, chili, and refried beans. Buying dried beans in bulk makes it easy to purchase just what you need for a single recipe, or stock up for a low waste pantry without excess packaging.
How much to use: ½ cup dried pinto beans equals about one 15 oz can of cooked beans once prepared.
How to soak: Rinse and sort beans. Soak in plenty of water for 8–12 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.
How to cook (stovetop): Add soaked beans to a pot and cover with fresh water by about 2 inches. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 60–90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add salt near the end of cooking, then drain or use with cooking liquid as desired.
Why dried beans: Choosing dried beans helps reduce packaging waste and avoids the plastic linings commonly used in conventional canned beans. Bulk purchasing supports a reuse focused pantry and lets you control portions, ingredients, and seasoning from the start.
Product tip: Cook extra and freeze in portions for easy, low waste meals later.
