What are the differences between the types of black beans? Let me explain it to you in detail below. I hope you will like it.

Black Beans

It is named because of its black seed coat and green kernel. The reason why this variety is precious is that it is extremely rich in protein, vitamins, iron, etc. It has high medicinal value and is a good tonic in traditional Chinese medicine. According to Chinese medicine pharmacology, it has medicinal uses such as nourishing yin and qi, nourishing and improving eyesight, dispelling wind and preventing heat, promoting blood circulation and detoxifying, and blackening hair. It can be taken orally or applied externally. It is effective when taken alone, and it is more effective when used in combination with other medicines.

Differences between black beans

In the Compendium of Materia Medica, there are as many as 59 prescriptions for using black beans as a single prescription for treating diseases. The scope of treatment covers internal medicine, gynecology, surgery, ENT and drug poisoning, etc. It has a wide range of uses and is usually used as a cooling tonic and strengthening medicine. Because of this function, green kernel black beans are listed as a scarce material in the international market and are sold well in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Japan, South America, Northern Europe and other countries and regions.

Black-skinned yellow-kernel beans are a variety introduced from Japan. They are high in nutritional value and are an excellent material for making candied fruit, and are deeply loved by the Japanese.

I think both green and yellow kernel beans have considerable medicinal and edible value, and can be used to make bean teeth grow. The reasons are as follows:

No matter which black bean you choose for germination, you should be aware that seeds with very shiny and clean skin are too old and cannot be used, because fresh black bean seeds have a layer of white frost-like wax on the surface, and this wax will gradually fade and become shiny as the storage time increases. Small seed beans can greatly reduce the amount of beans to be planted, reducing costs.

No matter which type of black beans you choose, the appearance must be full, fresh in color, without broken or moldy grains. In particular, it is best to use black beans harvested last year, because newly harvested black beans are difficult to swell (some will not swell even after four days), have weak germination potential (some will not sprout even after three days), and have a low germination rate (sometimes the germination rate does not even reach 40%).
