Dried calypso beans are best stored in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place.

Try pairing black calypso beans with fresh cooked corn for a side dish with contrasting colors and flavors.
Basic Cooking Technique:
To cook black calypsos, first soak them in water overnight. Boil in water for three minutes, then reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the beans are tender. One cup of dried black calypso beans becomes 2 ½ cups when cooked.
