Black Beans

 I am still picking and drying some of my lovely little 'Negrito' black bean seeds.

 Very small little beans which are usualy found in Hispanic recipes such as black beans and rice.

 Beautiful violet flowers on compact bushes, and these little bean pods are short but very prolific.

The pods seem to dry to different colours from dark blue to pale green, but perhaps we haven't had the best of ripening conditions this Summer eh?
