BLACK TURTLE BEAN Black Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) This Mexican native is a member of the kidney bean family and may be interchanged with the pinto bean in any recipe; it will, however, color any other ingredients black. The black turtle is sweet, spicy, and robust, and is delicious in soups or refried (refritos negros). At first glance a black turtle and black soybean may look like the same bean.

Unlike the American native, black walnut, the English walnut is easy to shell and does not stain. Walnut kernels are plump, meaty, and crisp, with a sweet flavor that has bitter aftertones because of the tannic acid in the nut's skin. Most of the U.S. domestic supply—and a significant percentage of the world's supply—of English walnuts comes from California. Health Benefits The walnut is a warming food and is used as a kitchen remedy to strengthen the kidneys and lungs and to lubricate the large intestines.
