Ways To Store Bulk Dried Beans

Ways To Store Bulk Dried Beans

Beans are not just a staple worldwide; they also contain proteins that make them essential for keeping our bodies healthy. Although beans have a long shelf-life, you still need to make sure to store them properly.

With this blog, you will learn different ways to store bulk dried beans.

Place Them Inside an Airtight Container

Like most food, beans are sensitive to oxygen, humidity, light, and heat. Aside from that, beans can also attract bugs like weevils that lay eggs inside your beans. To prevent your beans from being spoiled or being infested by pests, you need to store them the right way. Now, if you want to keep your beans longer than a month, you should consider putting them inside an airtight container. Airtight containers can help keep your beans from getting touched by oxygen or humidity. After that, place the airtight container containing your beans inside a cool, dark, and dry place. This will ensure your beans will last for the next three years or so.

Vacuum Seal Your Beans

If you’re planning to store your beans inside a storage bag or a freezer bag, make sure to vacuum seal it first. This will help remove any excess oxygen that can spoil your beans. A vacuum-sealed storage bag can help your beans last for more than five years. After that, you can now place your beans inside a freezer where they can last indefinitely. Freezing your beans can also help kill bugs and insects that may be around.

Use Oxygen Absorbers

If you’re planning to keep your beans for more than five years or so, add some oxygen absorbers to your airtight container or storage bag. Oxygen absorbers contain iron and help remove excess oxygen from their surroundings. They also help kill bugs that can infest your beans. You can also store your beans inside a Mylar bag with an oxygen absorber to help lengthen its shelf-life. Mylar bags are great for preventing moisture and gasses from getting inside, and they also block light and heat. If stored this way, your dried beans can last for more than 25 years.

Final Words

Beans are a great source of protein and can be part of any type of meal. When you store them correctly, you will not only enjoy a healthy meal; you will also be able to avoid spending more money on buying new beans. Make sure to follow any of the methods we have provided above to keep your beans from spoiling. If you have more questions, get in touch with us today!
