Our VERY FIRST crop of organic black beans grown on the farm, and we could not be more excited with the results. These delicious, raw black morsels have been hand-sorted and packaged for your culinary enjoyment.
We prioritize vibrant, healthy soils in our farming so that these beans offer the highest nutritional density. Organic black beans are one of the world’s healthiest foods. Over 70% of the calories in black beans come from carbs, and most of these carbs consist of starch. However, black beans are unusual in their starch content, because a large portion of their starch comes in the form of “resistant starch.” Like this name suggests, a large portion of the starch in black beans is not easily digested, and passes through our upper digestive tract without being broken down. Since this breakdown does not happen, the starch is not converted into simple sugars and our blood sugar level can avoid a quick rise. Our insulin response can also avoid any abrupt increase. Together, these processes provide black beans with a value of “low” on the glycemic index. They are also loaded with phytonutrients, zinc, and flavor. Studies have also found them to improve fat metabolism.
At the end of the day, we just think they are delicious! Each custom-printed burlap bag full of beans, comes to you from the Jennings Family Farm, hand-sorted, and shipped to your door. As fresh as it gets!
