Fèves Noires Black Turtle

Milanese milling

Meunerie Milanaise is a family-run business. All the grains we use come from organic farms, which use only compost, green manure and healthy crop rotations to maintain high soil fertility.

Organic black beans

The black bean originates from Peru and is sometimes called the turtle bean. This type of bean retains its shape and absorbs the flavors of accompanying foods wonderfully. Fava beans are a excellent source of folic acid and a good source of potassium and magnesium. They contain copper, phosphorus, zinc, iron, thiamine and riboflavin. They are a high source of fiber.

How to eat them

• Salads and soups
• Tasting in Chile
• Use as a substitute for ground meat
• Mix salsa, black beans and a little grated cheddar cheese with nachos!

Cooking

Soak black beans overnight. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 to 1½ hours, or until tender.
