This is what its like when worlds collide (Supernova!)

Dont buy canned beans. Just dont. Buy dried beans. They are better in every single facet. Cost? Better. Taste? Better. Health? Better.

So why do people buy canned beans? Who knows.

When cooking with dried beans you are supposed to rinse them and sort them. Occasionally you might find a pebble in your beans or something. Maybe a piece a metal. Who knows? I usually throw out any little cracked guys too.

Next, let them soak overnight. I like to just drop them in a bowl or Tupperware container and cover it in the fridge overnight. Give it at least 8 hours to soak.

When you're ready to cook the next day rinse tge beans in a colander. Sift again.

Usually sifting is a formality, but check it out.

This bean here appears to have germinated. Might as well pop it in the seed starting kit with the others. Lets see what happens.
