Family Tip:

These beans have a dense meaty texture and go well in chillis and other mexican recipes.
We think these beans make great burritos as they have a dense texture and stay intact when cooked.
A traditional technique for cooking with these beans is to keep the black water after they have been cooked and use it for a soup/broth or for colouring other dishes, such as rice.
