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

Excellent quality,cook well, great flavour

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

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.

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.

It doesn't look good when you open it see a bunch of holes on the beans. The beans are not good quality and I was surprised it comes from China. Flavour is poor. I wouldn't recommend it.

Good product
