Our Clear Creek Black Beans come from a Washington State farm. We strive to supply locally grown, Pacific Northwest products like our bulk black beans to the tables of our customers. This 25 pound bag is the best value for our bulk black beans which are grown in some of the richest soils in Washington State. Dried black beans may seem intimidating but they couldn't be easier to use. They cook in just 45 minutes without any prior soaking, though that can be shortened with some pre-soaking. Black beans have a dense meaty texture making them an excellent alternative protein source. Try them in black bean burgers, turkey black bean chili, burritos and so much more. *This product ships SAME DAY with UPS Ground.
