Black Turtle Bean-Dry bean seed
Also known as Black Turtle Soup beans. Annual. 90 days
12-24" plant height. 3-6" spacing. These black beans grow in yellow pods 5-6" long.
The plants of Black Turtle Bean Seeds are “semi-runners,” meaning they grow on bushes that benefit from some support. These tasty soup beans turn from black to dark brown when cooked.
The black turtle bean is a small, shiny variety of common beans, especially popular in Latin American cuisine, though it can also be found in Cajun and Creole cuisines of south Louisiana
In colonial America, black beans were not appreciated because of their unappealing color. As a result, the Black Turtle bean was advertised as an affordable substitute for turtle in the making of turtle soup, a delicacy during that time in history. Black beans originate in South America; some historians fix the date as far back as 8,000 BC to the Pre-Incan civilization in Peru. People from this time valued dry beans because of their long lasting freshness in storage. Black beans are a favorite in Latin American cooking for use in soups, sauces, and main dishes.
All my seeds come with full growing instructions and are packaged in reusable zip lock bags to keep your seed fresh and dry.
