Black Beans

Beans, Black (Beans, Black)  Black beans, or black turtle beans, as they are also known, may have been so named because of their shiny black appearance.  They are one of the smaller sized bean, as can be seen in the 1 cup measure photo to the left.  Black beans are a variety of the common bean which has a 7,000 year history in Central America, where they originated. Black beans are very nutricous and hold their shape well while cooking. We put cooked black beans on our salads, and use them in soups and in a number of main dishes, especially Latin America, the Caribbean dishes.  See our nutritional charts raw and cooked beans, and recipes below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
