Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 I want to soak them overnight but it says oversoaking causes skins to split. Is this true for all types of beans? I usually sleep at least 8 hours a night so by the time I am dressed, showered, exercise, etc it will be 10 or more. And after soaking beans do they have to be cooked immediently? Uhura Quote
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Different beans soak differently. I have never had chickpeas, black beans or pintos split significantly (a few but not a lot) after soaking overnight (approx 7 - 10 hrs). Mayacopas (yellow beans) seem more fragile & split after soaking long time. And you do not have to cook immediately. I sometime freeze soaked beans without cooking planning to cook & spice them later and they come out fine. hth Peace, Diane , " pierce407720032003 " <sacornelius wrote: > > I want to soak them overnight but it says oversoaking causes skins to split. > > Is this true for all types of beans?
