Bring on the beans! Whether you’re making veggie burritos, a pot of Tex-Mex chili or a potluck party dip, black beans add delicious, meat-free nutrition to any dish.

Sometimes called turtle beans or Mexican beans, black beans are small, ebony gems that cook up soft and creamy, with ivory-colored flesh and a slightly sweet taste. A staple in both South and Central American and Caribbean cuisine, they’re also a favorite go-to protein source for vegetarians and vegans. One quarter-cup serving supplies 8 healthy grams—plus hefty amounts of fiber, iron and other vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients

Suggested Use

Carefully sort beans, removing any debris or shriveled beans, and rinse thoroughly. Cover with cold water and soak overnight (6-12 hours); drain and rinse before cooking. For a quicker method, cover beans with 2 inches of water, boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour; drain and rinse before cooking. To prepare, add beans to a large pot, cover with water, bring water to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cooking until tender (approximately 90 minutes). Drain beans and prepare as desired. If reserving for later use, salt to taste and refrigerate.

Warnings

Safety sealed in a resealable bag. Do not use if seal is broken. Keep dry and at room temperature (59º-75ºF [15º-24℃]).
