Thank you everyone for the replies. I've been going through the stages of grief over these beans. It was probably about 80lbs that I stored away and food waste just hurts my soul. I ordered them from an organic farm I will reach out to them to see if they can give me information on their drying process. It's not really the look of the beans that alerted me to this, it was the smell. It's honestly not an overwhelming or "bad" smell. But there is a mild "sour" odor that I have not ever encountered with any grocery store dry beans. Their is a brewery near me that does a "blood orange sour" beer and that is what I was reminded of when I opened the bags of beans.
I did the same process for some barley, wheat berries, oats, and various pulses, chickpeas and they all seem fine so far. I guess I just have to take it as a learning experience but it's a rather painful one.
