How to Use / Preparation

Step 1: Sort and Rinse
Spread the beans on a flat surface and remove any debris, stones, or discolored beans. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2: Soak Overnight
Place beans in a large pot and cover with cold water by 3–4 inches. Let soak for 8 hours (or overnight). Optional: Add 1 tablespoon of salt per quart of water to help prevent skins from splitting during cooking.

Step 3: Cook
Drain soaked beans and add fresh water to cover by 2–3 cm. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered. Add aromatics like onion, garlic, and bay leaves (and optional cumin or paprika for flavor). If making a meat-based preparation, add bacon, linguiça, or carne seca now. Simmer for 1–2 hours until beans are completely tender, stirring occasionally. Add salt only in the final 10–15 minutes of cooking to prevent tough skins.

Step 4: Serve
For thicker broth, simmer uncovered in the final 20–30 minutes. Serve hot over rice, as a stew, or as part of traditional Brazilian dishes.
