To cook beans add 2 parts cold water per 1 part beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer slowly for about 2 hours.

After you are done, put the beans in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes, remove anything that flows, drain and repeat the process until the beans are clean. |
