My mother was a Dixie Lily devotee. I’m 70 years old, and I too am a Dixie Lily girl. Love all products, just cant eat any other large Lima bean. Thank you for helping to make me a good cook!

How long can the beans soak? Do they need to be refrigerated while soaking? I followed the instructions above for an overnight soak but let the pot sit covered on my stove for 24 hrs. House is set to 68-70 degrees F — are they safe to eat?
Thank you so much for contacting us. Yes the beans are fine to eat. We recommend throwing out the soak water and then replacing with new water or chicken stock for enhanced flavor when you go to cook the beans. The Soaking method allows for quicker cooking beans and evenly cooked beans. If you use a slow cooker or a pressure cooker then you do not need to soak your beans overnight. We hope this information helps and we appreciate your business.
