Unopened canned black beans can be stored in a cool, dry place, like a pantry, at room temperature for several years. Once opened, transfer any unused beans to an airtight container and refrigerate. They should be used within 3-5 days for optimal quality. Avoid storing opened cans in the refrigerator, as this can impart a metallic taste to the beans. You can also freeze cooked beans for longer storage; portion them into freezer-safe bags or containers.
