Description:
Black Turtle Beans are a favorite in Southern Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. They are related to the Kidney Bean and are also knows as Black Beans. Black Turtle Beans are small, black, and shaped similar to a kidney bean but more plump, with a square look to them. With a soft floury texture and rich, mushroom-like flavor, these Black Beans hold their shape when cooked and absorb accompanying flavors well. Native to South America, Black Turtle Beans are a significant ingredient in Brazilian and Cuban dishes. About 5/16 of an inch long, Black Turtle Beans will bleed color out and make the whole pot dark. You can lessen this by not pre-soaking them.
