Like all common beans, black beans are loaded with protein, fiber, molybdenum, zinc, and copper. But the health benefits of black turtle beans go way beyond as they offer extraordinary antioxidant benefits resulting from their high concentration of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are flavonoid pigments that give many black and blue fruits, berries and legumes their extraordinary health benefits.

Note: Like all common beans, raw black turtle beans contain lectins and therefore you should always soak and cook them properly before eating them.
