• 1 cup dried beans
• 10 cups water

‍ Instructions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. Sort: Before soaking beans, pick them over and remove any damaged beans, small stones or dirt.
3. Soak: Most beans will rehydrate to triple their dry size, so be sure to start with a large enough pot. Choose one of the methods to soak your beans.
