Description

Organic Black Turtle Beans contain anthocyanins.

Organic Black Turtle Beans are a delicious dense bean which hold their shape and colour during cooking.  These jet black turtle beans have a shiny appearance, taste great in a range of recipes and have a dense meaty texture.

Black Turtle Beans are popular in Latin American cuisine but are used worldwide in a range of dishes. They are a popular choice for stews, soups, Mexican burritos, black bean soups with rice, casseroles, and even brownies to add moisture.

These beans are more than just a colourful addition to your plate. They are high in protein so make a good addition to plant based diets. Just 70g serving of cooked black turtle beans is a source of Potassium and Phosphorus.

Their deep black color comes from a unique mix of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants. They’re also packed with nutrients like folate, which helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. Try our take on black bean chilli with our Black Bean Chilli Recipe.

Family Tip:

  1. These beans have a dense meaty texture and go well in chillis and other mexican recipes.
  2. We think these beans make great burritos as they have a dense texture and stay intact when cooked.
  3. A traditional technique for cooking with these beans is to keep the black water after they have been cooked and use it for a soup/broth or for colouring other dishes, such as rice.
