Black Turtle Beans Organic

These organic black turtle beans are small, oval-shaped beans with a dark black skin and a slightly glossy surface. They are known for their dense, meaty texture and a rich, earthy flavor that becomes slightly sweet when cooked. These beans are a staple in Latin American, Caribbean, and Southern U.S. cuisines, often used in dishes like black bean soup, burritos, feijoada (Brazilian black bean stew), and salads. When cooked, they retain their shape well, making them ideal for both soups and stews.

From a nutritional perspective, organic black turtle beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fibre, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate. Being “organic” means they are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, making them a popular choice for those seeking a more sustainable and chemical-free option. Their high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins, gives them their characteristic dark color and provides potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and heart-protective properties.
