Description
Black Turtle is a classic soup bean, that can be stored well. This hardy bush type has excellent disease resistance and does well even in drought and heat. The beans can eaten green when young, but they are better as a dry shell bean. These seeds are jet black and will mature in about 90 days. 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 Turtle bean plant seeds 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.
