Storage and substitutes
How to store it
Dried beans and pulses keep for a year or more in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The older they are, the longer they need to soak and cook. Once cooked, they last three to four days refrigerated in their broth and freeze very well.
Substitutes
Between bean varieties (black, pinto, bayo) substitution is straightforward in most stews: the colour and a nuance of flavour change, not the technique.
