Dry beans have a hard outer coating that, when soaked in water, allows water molecules to penetrate through the beans' pores. This absorption process rehydrates the beans, softening the texture and making them easier to cook and digest. Additionally, soaking also helps reduce cooking time and enhances the overall flavor of the beans.
