Wholefood Earth Organic Black Turtle Beans 1kg Raw | GMO Free | Vegan | High Fibre | High Protein | Certified Organic

Bought these as wanted some good quality beans for my salads to up my fibre content.These were perfect for that. They tasted amazing and I could enjoy each bite properly, they were not mushy (I guess you could keep cooking them to make them mushy?) and felt good quality.They release a really dark water, which seems to be the difference between high quality and poor quality black beans. 🫘After comparing prices of dried beans in Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, etc the price difference was very small and with the fact that these are a much higher quality and organic, I went with these.Would buy again and recommend to friends and family!A delicious recipe idea:Take a big bowl and mix:- 2 handfuls of baby spinach- 1-2 tomatoes cubed- 1/2 a cucumber- 100g of chicken breast shredded- 30-45g of black beans (cooked) - you can add more or less as you wish- seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic granules, etc (the flav comes from the other ingredients).- use either mayo, yogurt or sour cream to mix all together and enjoy!To boil the chicken breast, add the following in the water: Turmeric powder, chilli powder, cumin, coriander powders, garam masala, several cloves, a few cardamoms, lots of bay leaves, some peppercorns and salt. I can guarantee it will be delicious!

Well, despite searching extensively on Google I could find no reference anywhere online to the insides of black (turtle) beans being better quality if they are "green" as opposed to "yellow" as another reviewer of these beans authoritatively told us before leaving a lower star rating. The insides of black beans are actually, as you might expect, a greyish white with a slight purple hue after soaking but before cooking. Once cooked, the black skins colour the cooking water a deep dark purple black. I can tell you that the deeper black the bean is, the healthier they are for you (due to being rich in flavonoids and anti-oxidants). And these are deep, dark black, staining the soak water and cooking water to Inky depths. Crammed with healthy benefits then!These beans are extremely good quality. They are plump and intact, and when cooked they have a wonderful flavour, just waiting for you to add in to your favourite dishes. I've enjoyed black bean soup and black bean tempeh this week, and so I can thoroughly recommend these beautiful little beans.I hope this review is helpful to you in your purchase considerations :)

Good quality black beans, others have been disappointing but these are excellent, used in vegetarian burgers, Mexican and mostly Brazilian recipes, nice creamy texture and hold together well

Disappointed. Beans seem very old dried out. Extremely resistant to softening even after soaking for many, many hours and pressure-cooking for over 30 minutes! Tastes ok, but will take significantly longer to cook and never reach a pleasant desirable texture or size.

Excellent quality,cook well, great flavour

Great value

Being vegetarian I find a lot of vegetarian type foods are highly processed. I wish to avoid processed and GMO foods, and the best way to get the all important proteins is through beans, needing a different range of beans I decided to go with the black turtle beans, they are highly nutritious. I’m not a health guru, just someone wanting the best nutrients and health benefits from the foods I choose to eat. I will most certainly buy these again, they are very yummy.

The beans are fresh and high quality. Sometimes some sellers send out spoiled beans that are old and stale. There spoiled beans are shrivelled and require longer soaking and cooking and the end result is poor both texturally and taste. Not the case here! Highly recommend, it’s worth paying a little extra for these over cheaper alternatives.
