Black Nightfall Beans are black with grey portions that look sprayed on.
They have a rich full, though mild bean taste, and are firm and dense when cooked.
They double their size when cooked.
Black Nightfall Beans are good in salads and salsas and in dishes where you want a bean that holds its shape, such as soups.
