To prepare, rinse the dried bean medley thoroughly under cold water. Then, soak the beans overnight in plenty of fresh water. Drain and rinse again before cooking. Simmer the beans in fresh water or broth until tender. This can take several hours depending on the bean types. You can also use a pressure cooker for a faster cooking time. Once cooked, they can be added to your favorite recipes.
