A classic, versatile, essential black turtle bean. It holds its shape through lots of cooking yet retains its famous creamy interior.
Midnight is a true black Turtle bean with a rich, traditional black bean flavor and texture. Midnight beans have a light, thin skin that allows its flavors to mix with your aromatics and create a delicious bean broth.

These are incredibly fresh so little, if any, soaking is required. You can retain the black color better by not soaking. If you must soak, try using the soaking water while cooking.
