I was at the Asian market on 5th Street and saw a whole bag of dried chickpeas for $1.89.

Found a dusty bag once and those beans stayed rocks forever.

Check if they were the small kind or the big, plump ones (the size makes a huge difference for texture). That price is amazing, honestly, but I always worry about how long they've been sitting on the shelf. Dried beans can get too old and then they just never soften up right, no matter how long you cook them. Did the bag look dusty or was it clean? That's usually my tell.

But is it really that big of a deal? They're just beans, and a good soak usually fixes any age issue. You're overthinking a simple bag of lentils.
