Black beans are also known as black turtle beans! Just like kidney beans, quail beans and white beans, however, these particular legumes are not a separate bean species. They are a variety of the bush bean and you can recognise them because they are black, small and shiny. We were won over by the little beans for one very special reason: they have a fairly firm consistency and a spiced, nutty taste. This makes them a popular ingredient for various national dishes worldwide, but also an excellent meat substitute! Well, are you curious? Then buy our organic black beans in the convenient 2 kg pack now!
