A process for preparing canned legumes is disclosed. The process includes the steps of hydrating the legumes in a mixed salt solution for a period equal to about 7% to about 30% of the time necessary to render the legumes fully quick-cooking, where a quick-cooking legume is one that may be cooked for the table in boiling water in 20 minutes or less, and then retorting a hermetically sealed container of the hydrated legumes at a temperature of at least 220.degree. F. until the legumes are cooked and commercially sterilized.

Mixed bean salad is prepared by a process wherein different varieties of beans are independently rendered quick-cooking and then independently precooked for a period of time sufficient to remove extractable pigments therefrom. The precooked beans, again independently, are cooled rapidly and then mixed together in a marinating liquid. Finally, the beans are finish-cooked in the marinating liquid.
