black turtle beans

High in protein and essential amino acids. Rich source of dietary fibre and vitamin B. A great addition to a Mexican meal! To prepare, add black beans to a large bowl and cover with at least 4 inches of cold water, then leave to soak overnight or for at least 6 hours. Once soaked discard the water and rinse, transfer to a large pan, cover again with about 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1-2 hours or until they reach your desired tenderness. Great for adding to salads and stews or delicious vegetarian tacos! Cooked black beans can be kept covered in the fridge for about one week. Store dry black beans in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
