I routinely can older beans. Soak overnight, change the water and boil 30 minutes then pressure can them. they come out soft enough and not mushy.
I was cleaning out a closet and found a bucket with packs of dry beans that I vacuum sealed about five years ago. They are Navy and Great Northern beans. Are they still good? My plan now is to can them if you all think it is worth the time and effort.
We have twenty year old pintos that do not soften up with the stove top pressure cooker we use for chili making. I think I will try to grind them up in the blender and then rehydrate them with boiling water. I have red that bean flour can be used making biscuits and bread.

Great idea. I have about 12-15 quarts of vacuum sealed beans that are about 7 years old. They are my desperation food.
