This recipe incorporates msg to reduce sodium content and add umami flavor. MSG has 2/3rds the sodium of table salt. Many recipes I've tried have said that you don't have to soak beans before pressure cooking. You don't have to, but the results vary with some beans being incompletely cooked, some being overcooked and some being perfect. I use the quick soak method and find the texture of the beans to be uniform. Makes 11 1-cup servings.
