Do they have to be cooked?,and if so for how long?

I find that they need to be in boiling liquid for at least 3 minutes to be softened enough to eat. Sometimes the peas need to be cooked longer. I usually add the dried mixture to soup, chili or bouillon before I cook it, so the dried veggies have a long time in the hot liquid.

Hi Eduardo. I did a review on this product. It's pretty detailed. However, I can help u I think. U can reconstitute these flakes in water or a liquid of your choice to soften them. You can use them straight from the jar in whatever food your cooking as long as there's some liquid for steam or softening. You can also grind these in a grinder to make evn smaller & easier digestible & even open up more of the flavors. I use the grinds as meat ( chicken, beef, pork, fish etc.) rub. I use this with other dry ingredients to rub on & season meats & other foods. U can also use the grounded flakes ( which is almost a dense powder ) to add to healthy smoothies if that's your thing. It's very versatile. If u want to just eat them as is, u probably should soften them first in liquid. U would put them in a bowl & cover with liquid & let them sit like that for about 20 minutes or so. Times depends on how quickly they soften up. Or however soft u want them. So, your answer is defined above but shorter is reconstitute before use unless you're going to add them directly to a recipe. I think you'll really like the convenience of this mix. It's a good find. I highly recommend it. I hope this helps u some.

You can fry them up in them up in coconut oil or bake them either way. They will bake or fry very very fast so keep a close eye on them. We also have over 500+ recipes & how to videos on our blog.

I do not. I cook them and once the timer goes off leave them set for 2 to 5 min in the machine still covered. Come out perfect.

- store them in the fridge in their plastic bag. Depending on the recipe instructions you might soak them in warm/hot water for 10/15 minutes or chop them up "as is " from their package, how you use them is determined by your recipe instructions......hope this helps. Bert

We cook them for a few minutes longer than the box says, then check them every 2-3 minutes. Once they start to look kinda done, start poking one with a tooth pick each time you check them. When the tooth pick comes out clean, they're done!

Yes you can cook them and let them air dry to be crunchy or let them cook less time and they will be a little more chewy.

You can roast them before eating but there is no need. To get the full antioxidant potential out of them they should be eaten raw. I throw them in the blender with chocolate yogurt, protein powder and a banana.

Yes, if they are cooked according to the directions. If you leave them exposed to the air they become a little more on the crunchy side. Hope this helps! Andrea

No, you treat them just like microwave popcorn. Just be sure to stay with the oven as they do not make a popping sound and you could burn them if you leave them in too long. My oven does great at a little under 2 minutes, but yours may need a little more or less.

Yes ~~ ground meat definitely needs to be cooked but Oh! how great it will taste!! It might be a little trouble, take them from the refrigerator and give them a little boost of heat in the microwave ~~ this because the sandwich maker does not take long to have a "sandwich" with other ingredients & the sausage would have an extra boost ready to add to the flavor!!

I don't believe they would be good if you baked them. They are fairly thin and I think they would burn. I use them for choc caramel tarts which is cooked before filled.

I cut them into smaller pieces and put them in a plastic bag with a little oil and seasonings, if you wish. That works well because you cook for a shorter time. Also works well with meats. If you leave the skin on, like potatos, they stay moist but takes a longer cooking time.

I haven't tried cooking them but I can't imagine why you couldn't. One issue might be different cooking times if you have a bag of mixed beans.

You are fine. I left mine in the oven over night. I also have some that I kept in a plastic bag or easy treat giving. They are fine. :)

Airen, you have to take them out of the freezer for a few minutes before you plan to eat them. We put ours in a cup of warm water for about 5-10 minutes. It will then be melted just enough to slip it out of the casing.

IN a stove/oven, absolutely! You just can't use them ON a stove/range top, neither electric nor gas. That is why I bought them, to cook in them IN the oven, but they were quite small. They can go from fridge to microwave or oven. Hope this answers your question. Cheers.

No, I believe they all have to have some type of expiration date by law. Freeze dried food is your best bet,its good for about 25-30 years
