3-5 Days to Harvest. Phaseolus vulgaris. Organic Black Turtle Bean Sprouting Seeds. These organic black beans produce fresh, crunchy sprouts that can easily be substituted for black beans in any recipe for added nutrition. The protein in sprouts is easier to digest than in cooked black beans, and improves absorption of minerals and other nutrients. These organic sprouts have a bright and bold flavor and a rich texture that will put a new twist on any bean dish. These seeds can also be grown as mature beans and work as fantastic nitrogen fixers, providing essential nutrients for other plants in your garden. Our seeds have been tested for bacteria, and are great sprouts for those with some sprouting experience. ~130 seeds/oz.
The initial soak period for black turtle bean sprouts is 8-12 hours. Following the soak, seeds can be poured into the sprouting jar, bag, or tray. Black beans are notorious for high levels of decaying organic matter during sprouting, so it is critical to rinse sprouts 3-4 times per day, possibly even 5, in order to keep the beans clean and odor-free. The water may bubble, which is caused by an excess of carbon dioxide gas produced by the beans as they sprout. Take caution when draining water, as it will likely be stained black from the leaching of the shell.
The sprouts do not produce long, thin sprout tails; the tail may reach 0.5 inches when ready to eat. The sprouts will adopt a burgundy exterior when fully sprouted. Sprouts will be ready for harvest within 3-5 days. If growing sprouts overnight for traditional refried use, beans should be ready to cook in less than 24 hours. Sprouts should be fully dried for storage. Keep in a cool, dry place in an air-tight container.
We recommend using filtered water for the best sprouting results.
