I can't imagine pickled beans, but then, I lead a sheltered life.

It is my understanding that most (all?) dried legumes need to be cooked for
some reason... digestion??? can't remember the reason right now...

It is easy to cook them, and takes actually no time at all. Soak overnight.
In the morning drain and put into crock pot (slow cooker). Cover with water
and turn on low. By evening they will be done to perfection.
