How Many Beans do Canning Jars Hold?
I have found that if I pack them in tightly, one quart will hold a pound of beans. A pint size mason jar will hold a half pound. How you pack the canning jar will make a difference in how many beans it will hold. If you tilt the mason jar on its side to pack the beans, it will help keep them straight, which will allow you to pack more beans in the jar. Pack the jar as tight as you can when filling.Nutrition
