>> often they are with the dried beans in cellophane sacks.
Back when my income was very limited and variable, I had a 5-gallon tub half-full of things like navy beans and dried peas for pea soup, based on what was on sale. I might have had some of those "Southern peas" back then.
My plan was to always have something edible to fall back on. I came to dislike oatmeal from those days!
