Shelf life and preservation of home soaked and drained black beans

Question

I am looking to see if I can avoid store bought tin of black beans for our Mexican recipes, we typically decide suddenly to make a Mexican dish and usually dont have soaked beans handy.
Is it possible to preserve home soaked and drained black beans? What would be a typical shelf life.

Debbie M. · Accepted Answer

To preserve your beans more than a couple of days, you can either pressure can or freeze them. With either option, the beans will remain safe for a year or more (as long as they are stored at appropriate temperature, and the seal remains intact for pressure canned).

It should be possible to store them in a food container in the freezer at -18°C for at least 3 months.
