The notion that salt slows the softening of beans is commonly attributed to various culinary experts and food scientists. It is generally believed that adding salt to beans during cooking can toughen their skins and inhibit softening due to the way salt interacts with proteins in the bean's cell walls. Many chefs recommend adding salt only after the beans have softened to achieve the best texture.
