 Note:  15 bean mixtures are available packaged in supermarkets and health


 food stores.  If you prefer, make your own by combining equal amounts of


 dried blackeyed peas, red kidney beans, white kidney beans (cannellini),


 green lentils, split peas, black beans, yellow split peas, navy beans,


 cranberry (Roman, shell, or shell out) beans, great Northern beans, pinto


 beans, small white limas, red lentils, cow peas (field peas), and pink


 beans.  Avoid using beans such as garbanzos and large lima beans, as these


 take longer to cook than other varities.
