Chef's preparation tip:
To achieve the perfect texture, it is essential to soak them in cold water for 8 hours. Cooking, which takes between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours using traditional methods (or 20 to 30 minutes in a pressure cooker), should be done with herbs and spices to enrich their flavour, and salt should be added at the very end of cooking to avoid hardening the grain's outer layer. Allow an average of 80 g per person in dry form.
Storage and shelf life
► As a dry product, these beans are easy to store and have a long shelf life, which is a major advantage.
► Storage: It is essential to store the beans away from heat and humidity in order to preserve all their qualities and prevent spoilage. This precaution applies both before and after opening the container.
