Can Dried Beans Go Bad?

UPDATE:
I ended up soaking them over night and just finished cooking them for a little over 2 hours. I am tasting them now and they are perfectly tender and pretty darn delicious! Who knew expired food could taste so good?

Thanks, everyone!!

Can Dried Beans Go Bad?

I found a couple of bags of dried beans in my kitchen and they are past the expiration date. I always thought that dried beans last a very long time if kept dry.

Do you think it's safe to use them?

I need to quickly set up a place to meet for an informal business meeting (just two people) near the intersection of 1300 Connecticut Ave NW. Any suggestions for a coffee place or cafe that would be nearby would be much appreciated!!!
thanks!
