McCabe Organic Black Beans 2 lb — Dried Whole Black Beans with Green Kernels, USDA & CCOF Certified

McCabe Organic Black Beans are a 2 lb (32 oz) bag of dried black beans, certified USDA and CCOF organic, grown and packed in the USA for versatile home cooking.

These whole dried black beans from McCabe arrive as firm, dark-skinned legumes with pale green kernels inside. They are sold in a 2-pound retail bag and carry both USDA Organic and CCOF Organic certification marks, reflecting third-party oversight from farm to pack. Use them as a pantry staple for soups, salads, burritos, dips, and grain bowls; they cook reliably and store for months when kept dry.

How do I prepare McCabe black beans for best texture?

Rinse the beans and remove any debris, then soak or use the quick-soak method before simmering until tender. Soaking reduces cooking time and can improve evenness of texture; simmer gently until beans give easily when pressed between fingers.

• Rinse thoroughly and sort for stones or damaged beans
• Soak overnight in at least three times their volume of water, or quick-soak by boiling 2 minutes then letting sit 1 hour
• Drain, cover with fresh water and simmer 45–90 minutes until tender
• Salt toward the end of cooking to avoid tough skins

What dishes are McCabe black beans best suited for?

These dried black beans are a flexible ingredient for Latin, Southwestern, Caribbean, and vegetarian home cooking. They hold shape in stews yet mash smoothly for spreads and refried-style preparations.

• Classic black bean soups and chilis
• Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and rice bowls
• Salads, grain bowls, and chilled bean salads
• Purees and dips like black bean hummus or refried beans

What certifications and sourcing should I expect from McCabe beans?

McCabe Organic Black Beans display USDA Organic and CCOF Organic certification, which indicates adherence to organic growing and handling standards verified by independent certifiers. The product is labeled as packed in the USA, and the brand notes sourcing ties to Southern California producers.

• USDA Organic seal for organic production standards

How should I store these dried black beans to preserve quality?

Keep beans in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container once opened to extend shelf life and preserve flavor. Proper storage prevents moisture uptake and insect exposure and maintains consistent cooking performance.

• Original sealed bag until opened
• After opening, use airtight jars or resealable bags
• Store away from heat sources and direct sunlight
• Typical pantry shelf life: 1–2 years when kept dry
