Our black turtle bean range
We stock organic dried black turtle beans from everyday pouches through to bulk sizes, so you can cook little and often or batch-prep for the freezer. Once soaked and simmered they hold their shape beautifully in slow-cooked dishes.
How to cook black turtle beans
Soak the dried beans overnight, drain, then simmer in fresh water for around 60–90 minutes until tender. Use them in chilli, tacos, burritos, soups and salads, or blend into black bean burgers and dips.
Frequently asked questions about black turtle beans
Are black turtle beans the same as black beans?
Yes. Black turtle beans are the variety most often sold simply as "black beans", popular throughout Mexican and Latin American cooking.
Do I need to soak black turtle beans?
Soaking overnight shortens the cooking time and makes the beans easier to digest. If you're short on time, a quick hot-soak also works.
Are your black turtle beans organic?
Yes — our black turtle beans are certified organic and GMO-free, with nothing added.
