Roasting is a critical factor in creating the flavor profile of the coffee bean. The degree that beans are roasted can determine if the coffee will be light or dark, sweet or bitter. During roasting the raw green coffee bean loses moisture, turns yellow, and then “pops” open, much like popcorn in about 15 minutes. As this happens, the bean nearly doubles in size, and begins to assume the light tan color of lightly roasted coffee.

Immediately after roasting, Roast A Bean recommends waiting until the beans have cooled and degassed for at least 4 hours. Flavor will begin to decline after about 10 days, so only roast what you will use in that time. We believe, based upon research that you should roast enough to last 4 to 5 days and use the coffee within 7 to 10 days after roasting to maintain the freshness.

Never; I plant pole beans two feet apart and bush beans nine inches apart. The seeds are large enough to plant separately.

Your body will adapt to eating more beans and high-fiber foods, so start out slow, with smaller portions and smaller beans. Over time, you will be able to better digest larger portions.

Our Roasted Flaxseed (in the whole seed form) is shipped in vacuum sealed bags. Once the bags are opened the Roasted Flax Seed should be refrigerated or frozen to ensure freshness and quality. The Golden Roasted Flax has a guaranteed shelf life of 1 year.

Roast A Bean recommends that after roasting and waiting until the coffee has degassed, you should store the roasted beans in an airtight container. Oxygen can quickly deteriorate the quality of coffee. Storing fresh roasted beans in a good airtight seal container can minimize this. It is important to note that freshly roasted beans can emit gases within the first 24 hours after roasting. We recommend allowing the gases to escape within that time and then seal in an airtight container.

Wait for the roasted coffee to cool, which also gives the beans a chance to degas themselves of their CO2. Then store roasted coffee in a well-sealed, clean, dry container -- coffee spoils when exposed to oxygen, water and heat. Mason jars are ideal. Coffee should be stored in an air-tight container because its aromatic oils are volatile (one of the delights of roasted coffee, in fact, is the aroma that greets you each time you open the jar). Do not keep coffee in the refrigerator or freezer.

I'm looking into ordering your Best Bolivian Coffee, I've been searching around and ordered some other coffees that sellers claim to be Organic Fresh Roasted Bolivian, but so far no luck, every one that I've tried aren't what a Bolivian will consider to be coffee.

You must pick the beans just as quickly as they mature. They want a sunny, warm location, with good drainage; very little food is necessary. Beans and peas are the best investment a gardener can make, as they give the biggest return for space and time invested. I wish to give the seed growers a pat on the back because they’re all working hard to develop varieties that will resist bugs and diseases and need less water, food, and care - all for our benefit.

We regularly cook a bag of dried beans and freeze the beans in their own juice to use in place of canned beans. Dried beans are easy to cook and can be done in a slow cooker. They are far less expensive that canned beans. If you do not have any beans in your freezer and would like to stock up, use this recipe: Rinse beans in a colander and check to be sure there are no stones or other debris. Place beans in a dutch oven and cover with water so that the water is twice as deep as the beans.

Melt some chocolate by puting a container with the chocolate in a pan of boiling water, stir the chocolate when it is getting hot. Some experimentation regarding what chocolate to use is in place. I used chocolate chips of from Girardelli. One should probably aim for dark and not too sweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate over the beans and smear it so that each bean is covered - you should have a single layer of covered beans not too far apart.

For dark roasted coffee, the "oil" on the surface of the beans is a sign of freshness. It's actually not oil, but starches in the beans that have been released by the dark roast. Lighter roast coffees do not release any oil on the surface of the beans.

Dry beans are legumes grown to the mature stage, allowed to dry, and harvested for the seed within the pods. Most U.S. dry beans are produced for human consumption. Dry beans are an important staple crop and are also used as animal feed in other parts of the world.

How long is a piece of string? Bean life is affected by many factors such as weight of the dog, amount of use, atmospherics especially humidity and the surface that the bed is sitting on. All that said, we normally expect that you will need to Top-Up the beans every 12 months or so.

The best place to do anything with beans is in the bath as no matter how careful you are some of the little beggars WILL run loose. Insert a paper clip into the zip located between the tabs on the Inner bed and carefully open it. If you are topping up then get a second person to hold the Inner open whilst you gently ladle the beans into it. I find that a 1 litre jug is best for this purpose. For Top-ups add 10% of the number of beans needed for a complete fill.

The Inner bed which holds the beans is made of the same poly/cotton twill fabric that we use for the Slip-cover.
