To maximize the shelf life of navy beans, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Properly stored, dried navy beans can last for several years. Cooked navy beans should be refrigerated promptly in an airtight container and are best used within 3-5 days. You can also freeze cooked navy beans for longer storage; portion them into freezer-safe bags or containers and they should remain good for up to 6-8 months. Be sure to label and date your stored beans for easy tracking.
