dry beans

Pantry staple legumes

Dry beans are legume seeds that have been allowed to mature and desiccate in the pod before harvest, as opposed to green beans eaten fresh.

The category includes kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, navy beans, and dozens of others.

They require soaking and extended cooking to become edible: I forgot to soak the dry beans overnight.
