Black Bean Trivia

Black beans are commonly referred to as turtle beans, probably because of their shiny, dark, shell-like appearance. Black beans have rich flavor and a velvety texture. In addition to their high fiber and protein content, a new study finds that beans, particularly black ones, are a rich but overlooked source of antioxidants.
