Really Black Black Beans

[Guest guest]

I am planning my garden for this year. I am looking for some black

beans. I have some that I purchased from the store but they are dark

brown, and cook up with a broth that looks like watery mud. They taste

good and keep their shape but they just leave me feeling like I could

do better. (These beans were some that I kept from a bulk food purchase

at my health food store I don't know the variety)

 

I really want a variety that cooks up really rich and as close to black

as possible, with a good flavor. Does anyone have a suggestion for a

variety? Better yet, does anyone have a few beans that they would be

willing to part with?

 

I am open to suggestions on other bean varieties that you like, we are

going to be planting in 1/2 acre so we can try some new things this

year.

 

Thanks!
