Products Details
Organic black soybeans are loaded with protein and other important nutrients. Soybeans are rich in minerals, B vitamins and unsaturated fats. They are also high in lecithin. Black soybeans are slightly sweeter and creamier than their yellow counterparts. However, they have a relatively mild flavor which makes them perfect for using in a wide array of foods including salads, salsas, casseroles, and dips. Cooked black soybeans can also be used as meat replacements in burgers and other vegetarian meals.
How to Cook Black Soy Beans
Rinse and then soak overnight using one part of soybeans to four parts of boiling water. Drain and cover with fresh water or stock. Simmer about three hours, adding water as needed. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil to control foaming when the soybeans are cooking.
