Buy frijoles online

Frijoles are beans commonly used in Latin American cuisine, available in varieties like black, pinto, and red beans.

Rinse and soak them, then simmer in water or broth until tender, usually for 1–2 hours.

Store cooked frijoles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Rinsing canned frijoles removes excess sodium and improves flavor, but you can use the liquid for added thickness in some recipes.

Stored in a cool, dry place, dried frijoles last up to a year or longer, although older beans take longer to cook.

Frijoles can be used in soups, stews, salads, burritos, tacos, refried beans, or as a side dish.

Boil beans for 2 minutes, remove from heat, cover, and let soak for 1 hour before draining and cooking.
