Blue Runner Dry Black Beans 1lb

Black beans (also known as Black Turtle Beans, caviar criollo, and frijoles negros) have been a staple in the diets of Central and South Americans for over 7,000 years. We also love them in Louisiana where Blue Runner Premium Select Dry Black Beans are used in Creole and Cajun cuisine. These shiny, satiny, black-skinned beans with white centers are prized for their creamy, slightly sweet flavor.
