I'm a teen trying to cook for himself and I wanted to make some red beans and rice.

After I boiled the water, I started soaking the red beans and in just 5-8 minutes, the beans pruned up like your fingers in bath.

I got so scared(i still am) because I think I did something wrong because my grandmothers red beans never looked like that. (at least when I ate them)

My mother got the beans from a free food place and they've been in the cabinet for a few months now

The beans:

2lbs of Morrison Farms light red kidney beans in 8 cups of boiled water

the boiled water has 1/4 cup of kosher salt dissolved
