About Black turtle bean
Black turtle beans are small, dark-skinned dried beans with a pale interior, commonly soaked and cooked for soups, stews, bean dishes and purees. They are sold dried and canned or otherwise cooked. Cooking softens the beans and may darken the surrounding liquid, while canned beans are ready to use after draining or rinsing.
Cooked beans have a tender skin and dense, creamy interior, with a mild, earthy flavour. They are a particular type of black bean, distinct from black soybeans. Dried beans require cooking, and their final texture depends on age and preparation; cooked and dried forms should not be described as identical products.
