Review by: cat staffFavoriteWe are so happy to find a supplier of this excellent bean - We discovered them years ago at Bobs Red Mill who no longer carries them and now we found you! These beans are creamy and rich tasting excellent as a chili or bean soup and they are extremely nutritious. I am surprised more people have not discovered them. They are a staple in our house. Thank you for carrying these!

Orca Beans
Easy to Prepare — a little makes a lot
- First, sort beans for any foreign matter and then rinse. Some cooks like to do a preliminary soak by soaking beans in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- After optional soaking drain and rinse beans.
- Next, place beans in a pot, cover with sufficient water, and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, adding water as needed. Simmer time will vary depending on soak time and size of bean.
- Alternatively, some cooks prefer to use crock pot techniques.
- Note: As with any supply of dry natural beans, this product may contain small pebbles, so please remember to sort your beans first.
Yield — 1 cup weighs about 1/2 pound. 2 cups of dry beans equals about 4-5 cups cooked beans.
Storage — Best if used within 24 months. Store tightly sealed in a dry location away from sunlight.
