A classic, versatile, essential black turtle bean. It holds its shape through lots of cooking yet retains its famous creamy interior. The bean broth can be used as a base for all kinds of soup.

Midnight is a true black turtle bean with a rich, traditional black bean flavor and texture. Midnight beans have a light, thin skin that allows its flavors to mix with your aromatics and create a delicious bean broth. The beans and their broth are great with simple rice. The liquid coats each kernel of rice, adding flavor, protein and pizzazz. But don't forget to strain them for a salad with your favorite greens and use any leftover broth as a base for soup or even poaching eggs.

Check beans for debris, and rinse thoroughly. In a large pot, sauté aromatic vegetables (onions, garlic, celery, carrot, etc.) in olive oil. Add beans and enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a full boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, using a lid to help regulate the heat, and gently cook until done, 1 to 3 hours. Salt when the beans start to soften. A pre-soak of 2 to 6 hours will lessen the cooking time.

Steve Sando of Rancho Gordo began selling heirloom beans at farmers markets after experiencing an epiphany with his first harvest of Rio Zape. He now runs an operation in Napa, California satisfying heirloom bean cravings around the country. A key part of his mission is to preserve the precious bean varieties that are indigenous to the Americas. A Rancho Gordo bean is a creamy indulgence that's delicious and good for you. We just love them.

Midnight black beans..

Attention should be applied to UPS first. They totally messed up their DELIVERY on the product itself by the way .
SECONDLY. BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, IS YOUR COMPANY WITH EMPLOYEES LIKE SUSANA AND WENDY WHO CARRIED OUT SUCH GREAT EMPLOYEE/CUSTOMER RELATIONS WHO REALLY REPRESENTED WHAT FROG HOLLOW FARMS REALLY CARRIED OUT THE MESSY PARTS IN GETTING MY PURCHASE STRAIGHTENED OUT. I REALLY HOPE THEY ARE RECOGNIZED AND PRAISED FOR THEIR WORK IN EVERY FACET OF MY ORDER, GOOD AND BAD; IT IS ACTUALLY THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE OR BREAK A COMPANY. THEY DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT. THANK YOU!

Flavorful and hold their shape

Wonderful black beans, they taste delicious and hold up as individual bean--not mush--after cooking.
