Black Turtle beans are a common ingredient in soups, stews, sauces and in the popular burrito. They are said to be native to Mexico, perhaps the reason why they are so common in Latin American dishes.
From a nutrition perspective, they contain folate as well as being a good source of fibre for proper digestive function, iron (non-heme), phosphorus, complex carbohydrates and some calcium. They have been shown to be a good source of natural antioxidants.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, black turtle beans have a warming thermal nature and are beneficial to the kidneys and builds blood.
