Black Turtle Beans are native to Mexico and have long been a part of the cuisines of Central and South America. Great for soups, burritos and other dishes, black beans have a meaty texture and are rich in antioxidants. The distinct shiny black seeds are resistant to disease and can tolerate hot conditions. Black Turtle Beans come to maturity about 90 days after germinating and can be harvested when leaves are falling off or have lost most of their color. These beans are typically eaten as dry beans. Sow seeds 1-2" deep, approximately 4-6" between seeds. Thin to 6" between growing plants, with 24-30" between rows.
