Description

Thought to have originated in Latin America over 7,000 years ago, Black Turtle Beans are mild and sweet in taste and soft in texture. They're a staple in a wide variety of cuisines throughout Latin America, Mexico and the Caribbean. These delicious, earthy beans are also popular in Creole and Cajun cuisines. They make wonderful refried beans, black bean soup and can be incorporated into Mexican dishes like burritos and enchiladas. Black Turtle Beans are cholesterol-free and low in fat. They're an excellent source of fiber and iron and a great choice for those following a vegetarian diet. Follow our Basic Preparation Instructions for Black Turtle Beans and enjoy them in everything from dips to tostadas to stews. You can also soak the beans overnight to reduce the cooking time the following day. Beans can be prepared in a slow cooker or used for meal prep, as they'll store for 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer. This recipe for Buffalo-Style Quinoa Chili earned the runner-up title in the "Your Best Quinoa Recipe" contest hosted in partnership with Food52. The recipe comes courtesy of Stacy McCann and takes just 15 minutes to prep. Stacy combines our Black Turtle Beans with flavors of tomato, hot sauce, paprika, cumin and onion. She also incorporates our Organic Quinoa Grain and tops the dish with a surprising, yet completely delicious, addition of blue cheese. You can also use our Black Turtle Beans for these Black Bean and Creamy Kale Enchiladas. The beans are mixed with garlic, chopped onion, bay leaf and oregano. Once combined with green chili strips and enchilada sauce, this dish takes on decadent feel. Serve a big batch of this for an easy weeknight family dinner and enjoy the leftovers for lunch the following day. Whether you're using our Bob's Red Mill Black Turtle Beans for enchiladas, chili or anything in between, we know you'll love them! As an added bonus, they even taste fantastic when served on their own as a simple side dish.
