Camil Black Beans (Feijão Preto) 1kg

Product Overview

• The Look: Small, matte-black kidneys that turn a deep, dark purple-brown when cooked.
• The Texture: They have a slightly firmer skin than Carioca beans, allowing them to hold their shape even after hours of slow simmering with heavy meats.
• The Flavor: Earthy, robust, and slightly "smokier" than other bean varieties.

Key Uses & Recipes

1. Feijoada Completa: The most famous use. These beans are stewed with salted pork, sausages, and jerked beef.
2. Feijão Preto do Dia-a-Dia: In Rio de Janeiro and parts of the South, black beans are the preferred "daily" bean (instead of Carioca).
3. Caldinho de Feijão: A thick, savoury black bean "shot" or soup, often served in Brazilian bars with bacon bits and green onions.
