How long have they been soaking?

3-4 hours?

It happens! I cooked seven pounds last Saturday and some split and I soaked for like twelve hours.

I prefer a more sloppy Natchitoches style red beans instead of a soupy beany New Orleans style red beans, so cracked beans wouldn't bother me. To be honest, I don't even soak and total cook is about 3-4 hours.

I think your problem is that you are using too old beans. I don't think split beans are that much of a problem, but that's just me.

Been on a bean trip lately. Two batches of white beans in two weeks. Changing it up.

We all buy dried red beans. Does anyone ever grow them in their garden? Never seen them at a farmers market.
The Camelai people say the beans started in Peru and "were spread by migrating tribes and served as an important protein source in the diets of the Indians of the Americas. Grown in Colonial America, kidney beans were cultivated by Acadian farmers in Louisiana in the late 1700s and planted by Spanish settlers."
So folks used to raise them in Louisiana. Does anyone still do so?

Add a little salt to the water

Great northern beans are the beans inside the pods most people know as green beans.

What Bressus said. Salt in the soak will make a huge difference.

Yeah when I make beans I don't soak either. I guess it makes for a longer cooking time but I rather have them going for longer in all the good seasoned water than just soaking. Mine come out very soft.

I still grow them in my garden every year.
California Red Kidney bush variety always does really well for me.
