Nutrition Facts Beans (Dry)
Dry beans are a dried food with much of its original water removed, which concentrates its flavor and nutrients. They provide protein, dietary fiber, potassium, and calcium. Choose dry, intact seeds without insects, mold, or moisture damage. Store them airtight in a cool, dark place and cook thoroughly after soaking or rinsing as appropriate.

Interesting fact
Soaking changes cooking time; thorough cooking changes safety and digestibility
Soaking hydrates dry pulses and can shorten cooking, but it does not replace cooking. Heat softens the seed structure and reduces heat-sensitive antinutritional proteins; canned beans are already cooked, and rinsing is useful when sodium has been added.
