Beans! The Magical Fruit…


This first handout is called Bean Cuisine and is from allaboutfoodstorage.com has 4 pages of recipes and tips for using beans. The recipes include Pumpkin Bread and Apple Oat Cookies using 1 cup of white beans each.


The second handout is from the Utah State University Cooperative Extension and is called Cooking with Food Storage Ingredients: Dry Beans. There are a few recipes here too, but the first few pages cover things like the different variety of beans, canning beans, softening old beans, gas, and bean nutrition. It should be very helpful in your food storage endeavors.



Mom has been canning beans for years. She swears by it for a quick and easy meal. Just add seasoning and you are ready to go. 


 There's always a silver lining behind the darkest cloud: If you don't like to eat beans you can still use them to make one of those nifty bean collages!

I happen to love beans in most varieties. I do not like Lima beans, and I am not a great fan of kidney beans, but the rest are good to go.
