N-thing pickling, but if you want to freeze em (or most veg really) make sure they're dry-ish and do it on a baking sheet before bagging so they freeze quicker. If your freezer isn't great, little fan in there can help a lot. Basically quicker freeze=smaller ice crystals=less damage, fan is like the freezer version of a convection oven. It doesn't really change how long they stay good, that's more about how cold/stable you keep your freezer, but definitely keeps em nicer. Freezer being pretty full already helps it freeze new stuff quicker too, again more relevant the less good your freezer is. Kinda sounds like yours might not be great. Leaving the bags open until they freeze is a half-step in the right direction if you don't have room for a sheet or time for the extra step, and none of this is at all specific to beans lol. Happy preserving :)

I wasn't advocating for it friend, that's what op was asking for alternatives to. Just saying that's where I ended up, have either gotten used to it or learned to season around it and I like just having one simple, natural, shelf-stable go to oil. My input here is that churn style country crock is on par with the finest "vegan butter" sticks and much cheaper. Even passed blind test by a very picky partner

Some's better than others for sure, don't let me yuck your yum. I pretty much just use coconut oil for everything nowdays, but have gotten more than one friend to drop those high-dollar earth balance sticks for the humble churn style country crock tub

Didn't mean to give you grief, hope you enjoy whatever you end up doing with it. Matching barely legal beaters with people I see sleeping rough is kind of my Thing, as long as they can gimp between parking spots enough to not get towed it's a huge comeup
