Black Soy Beans: What are they?:

Black soy beans are merely a variety of soy bean. Nutritionally, they are very similar to regular yellow soy beans. They are high in fiber and protein, and relatively low in carbohydrate.

What are they good for?:

Black soy beans are great substitutes for higher carb beans. They don’t taste “soybean-y” as the yellow ones do, but more like regular black beans. I use them for baked beans, refried beans, bean soup, chili, you name it.

Where can I find it?:

Most health food stores carried canned organic black soy beans by Eden Foods. Dry black soy beans are harder to find, but some stores carry them.
