How to cook beans yourself

If you do not like sterilized beans, then you can cook it at home. To do this, take 1 cup of dried beans, pour it into a deep container and fill it with water, twice as much in volume as the dried beans. We leave everything for the night.

The next day, drain the remaining water and transfer the beans to the pan. Fill with water so that it completely covers the beans, and set to boil on high heat until it boils. When the water boils, reduce the heat to a minimum, and cook for 45-60 minutes. Beans should be soft. 5 minutes before the end of readiness salt to taste.
