Hey family! I started soaking my own beans! I soaked 2 bags at the same time, then I cooked them and separated them into two separate gallon sized ziplock bags. I put one in the freezer, and one in the fridge, that way they don't sour and go bad and I've always got plenty on hand. It's cheaper, and has much less sodium than canned beans! I also put in cider vinegar as I'm cooking the beans to cut the gas! Good tip huh!
