Splendid dark purple-black bean widely grown throughout Latin America and known by numerous common names. The compact bush plants are very productive and yield reliably, even in the north! The rich flavor and meaty texture lend themselves to vegetarian chili and frijoles refritos. Due to the coloration, this variety offers the bonus of a high anthocyanin content, too! We offer a select northern hardy strain originally collected in a village in Mexico and grown for many years by the Doug Baty family of Dixon, Montana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Turtle beans, like other dry beans, thrive in full sun and well-drained, loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. They prefer warm temperatures and should be planted when the soil temperature is at least 60 F, ideally 70-80 F. For best results, consider using a nitrogen-fixing inoculant on the seeds before planting to enhance nitrogen availability in the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511143203102,"sku":"BN169","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/cld_693c3fcdc300b_BN169-Bean_Seeds_-_Black_Turtle_enasxa.jpg?v=1782396897","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/bean-black-turtle","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
