Origin
Black beans, also known as black turtle beans, have their origin in the Americas, particularly in Central and South America. They have been cultivated for thousands of years by indigenous peoples in these regions. Black beans were a staple food in ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs and Mayans. They were later introduced to other parts of the world through European explorers and traders. Today, black beans are widely consumed and grown in various countries, including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States.
