Red Kidney Beans and Cannellini Beans

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Cooking question about beans. Forgive my lack of basic cooking

knowledge.

If I make a cold salad with beans such as Red Kidney Beans, Black Beans

or the Cannellini Beans and choose to use raw agriculture beans that

have been soaked (verses the ones from the can that have sodium and

problably sugar added) do they need to be cooked? Or can I soak them

overnight and put them directly into a cold salad?

For example the " Cannellini Bean Salad " that was resently posted on

this sight...
