I cook up all the different kinds of beans in huge batches and then freeze them in various containers (I reuse any glass container with a lid - we try to buy only products in glass containers or without containers from the grocery store).<br /><br />Be careful though if you are freezing in glass - you want to make sure the product going into the freezer is at room temperature. If you put piping hot beans into the glass and then into the freezer, it tends to crack. (I know, common sense, but I did it without thinking once.)Jen (emsun.org)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15262746716973961624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173453322997227658.post-19205804626003751072011-05-20T11:49:23.508-04:002011-05-20T11:49:23.508-04:00Melinda, mine are in the freezer right now!

I have black beans in the freezer right now, but need to add some pintos, red beans and navy beans so I'll have a variety. It is easier to cook a bunch and freeze them and have them ready! Makes it much easier for me to pass up cans at the grocery store!Melindanoreply@blogger.com
