Hi! I soaked my cannellini beans overnight. Once I drain them how long can they sit before I cook them?

Question

Refrigerate, in the soaking water.  If you leave them out they may start to ferment.  For more than a few days, you could freeze them.

If you don't want to cook them right away, add more water.

I would cook them immediately, otherwise they will dry out &amp;amp; you will not be able to re-hydrate them.
