One cup of dried beans makes 2 to 2-1/2 cups of cooked beans, so allow room in your pot for the expansion. Dried beans can be stored in airtight glass jars, away from heat, for 6 months to one year. "

"This is a book written from the soul...it has a wholeness to it that other works, written from isolated viewpoints and abstract thinking, seem to be lacking. This is a book that belongs in the kitchen or library of anyone who cares about food, the health values it holds for making the body well again, or the best ways in which it should be prepared."
John Heinerman, Ph.D., author of 55 books on food therapy, and general nutrition
