Soaking pinto beans before you cook them speeds up cookign time and allows some of the gas to escape. When soaking beans the water should be change the water several time, or when it begins to turn dark.

Osmosis is responsible for shriveling beans during the fist cooking phase. Water moves from a low solute (the bean) to a high solute environment (the broth).

If they don't smell good, then don't use them.

I have never seen pinto beans spoil in less than a period of about two hours however in my years of cooking you would have to leave them out of the refrigerator for several hours before they would began to spoil.

Beans are a staple food in the South and they would have to stay out all night in some cases before spoilage would sat in however If I intended on selling the beans to the public I would follow the 2 HOUR RULE and just cook a fresh pot.

there are different type of beans of which one variety is pinto. There are several other beans which can be used along side or as a substitute for pinto.

But pinto is a single bean type

That depends on the size of the can. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Alternatively, the calorie content of canned black beans is usually listed on the back of the can.

Yes.
Yes, pinto beans are one of New Mexico's state vegetables.

2000 pounds of anything, including beans, is a US ton (short ton).

A bushel is 8 gallons and each bushel of produce (based on tomatoes, corn, beets, peppers, and squash) generally weighs 50 pounds. Therefore, each gallon would weigh 6.25 pounds (50 divided by 8). So 5 gallons would weigh approximately 30.25 pounds. This is not precise as it will depend how tightly the beans are packed, but it should be close.

only if you like kidney beans better.

in cooking, you need to think more about what you like. you don't always need to have the exact foods. think of it as more of a guideline.

Although some sites don't tell you to do so, soaking beans overnight is best done under refrigeration for food safety purposes.

Dry beans are an agricultural product and have had plenty of exposure to critters, soil and irrigation water which could all contribute to a population of unknown micro-flora. Hydrating the beans at room temperature for an overnight will allow the growth of any pathogens that are present. The bacterial load will be increased and any toxins produced might not be destroyed when the beans are cooked. So, to avoid dealing with all of that, soak the beans under refrigeration.

I don’t know how much protein n cup of pinto beans

They grow above ground and are much like other beans for drying such as kidney beans.
In a dry climate you can leave them to dry on the bush. In damp climates, or if you prefer, you can pick the pods at the yellow stage or uproot the plant and hang in an airy position. Leave to thoroughly dry. This may be a couple of weeks depending on the conditions. To ensure no weevils survive you can freeze them in an airtight container for a few days but take care not to open it until it has returned to room temperature or condensation will form.

I eat the leaves of my pinto bean plant today for the first time, and that way around noon today its now almost 10pm and im still here. I cooked them in a pan with a little onion and olive oil. They had a very small tast of refried beans and were not that bad. In fact I kinda like it. I think they would be good added to almost anything

Most people think that the longer they cool food the better they will be. That is NOT true. The FASTER you cool foods the better. The best way to cool foods to refrigerate or freeze is to put them in an ice bath. Put the food in a shallow pan and put that pan in a bigger bowl or pan filled with ice and water(more ice than water). This gives the food a quick cool down which keeps out bacteria.

As far as I know, broth without beans has almost no calories, because is mostly water, salt and minerals, so if you are on a diet its safe to drink bean broth. Try it with some salsa made of steamed tomatoes and onions, and if you like it hot, a little jalapeno chopped (take the seeds away to keep it mild). It's delicious and has 25 calories with half a cup of this salsa.

Each pound bag of dry pinto beans contains about 12 (½ cup) servings after cooking. Eight pounds of pinto beans will therefore serve 96 people.

Pinto beans can grow faster in ground or outside soil because it's more natural.
