Before cooking, it is important to rinse the dried beans thoroughly under cold water. Then, they typically require soaking, either overnight or using a quick-soak method. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans again. They are then simmered in fresh water or broth until tender. Cooking time can vary depending on whether they were soaked and the desired tenderness. They can be seasoned with herbs, spices, and aromatics during the cooking process to enhance their flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger red beans, small red beans tend to cook a bit faster and absorb flavors more readily. Their smaller size also makes them ideal for dishes where a more uniform texture is desired, and they are less likely to break apart during cooking.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining dried beans in a cool, dry place in their original packaging or an airtight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Properly stored, they can last for a long time.
