Your recipe with look as fabulous as it tastes with these Organic Black Beans. With a rich flavor that has been compared to mushrooms, black beans have a velvety texture while holding their shape well during cooking.
Black beans could not be more descriptively named. They are commonly referred to as turtle beans, probably in reference to their shiny, dark, shell-like appearance.
Black beans provide special support for digestive tract health, and particularly our colon. The indigestible fraction (IF) in black beans has been shown to be larger than in either lentils or chickpeas. It has been shown to be the perfect mix of substances for allowing bacteria in the colon to produce butyric acid. Cells lining the inside of the colon can use this butyric acid to fuel their many activities and keep the lower digestive tract functioning properly. By delivering a greater amount of IF to the colon, black beans are able to help support this lower part of our digestive tract. Lowered colon cancer risk that is associated with black bean intake in some research studies may be related to the outstanding IF content of this legume.
