Retail – East End BLACK EYE BEANS 500g

Description

E.E. Black Eye Beans 500 g, a store cupboard staple with a soft, creamy bite.

These are dried black eye beans from East End Foods, the Birmingham company that has supplied British kitchens with pulses and spices since 1972. The 500 g is a single retail pack, enough for several family meals once the beans are soaked and cooked. The small dark spot on each pale bean gives them their name, and they hold their shape well while soaking up surrounding flavours.

Key Features

• Dried black eye beans in a handy 500 g retail pack, ideal for home cooks and smaller kitchens
• Naturally high in plant protein and fibre, a filling base for meat free meals (verify nutrition on pack)
• Mild, earthy flavour that works across West African, Caribbean and Indian dishes
• Cooks faster than many pulses and does not always need overnight soaking
• Long ambient shelf life for easy batch cooking

Cooking and Uses: Rinse the beans, then soak for a few hours or overnight for the softest result. Drain, cover with fresh water and boil until tender, usually around 45 minutes to an hour. Use them in stews, rice dishes such as Nigerian style beans and rice, salads, soups and spiced curries.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container. Cooked beans keep in the fridge for a few days.
