Beans in brine ?

[Dj tweet]

Hi all
here in nz I'm struggling to find dried beans to make a bean and rice mix with

Is it safe to use canned beans in brine as a substitute so long as I rinse them off well ???

No, the beans will have absorbed the sodium and this is very bad for birds. Do you have a dry bean mix for soups in NZ? If so, you can soak over night in water. Rinse, then boil for about 20 minutes, rinse and serve.

There are bean mixes for birds on Avain Naturals. I order them all the time.
