Black Beans, or black turtle beans, as they are also known, may have been so named because of their shiny black appearance. They are one of the smaller sized bean. Black beans are a variety of the common bean which has a 7,000 year history in Central America, where they originated. Black beans are very nutritious and hold their shape well while cooking. We put cooked black beans on our salads, and use them in soups and in a number of main dishes, especially Latin American and Caribbean dishes.
