Roasted Black Soybeans: A Crunchy Snack That’s Out of the Ordinary

Roasted black soybeans are a lesser-known crunchy snack that quickly wins over anyone who tries them. AlSultanFood Roasted Black Soybeans are made from quality black soybeans, roasted and lightly salted.

In this article we share how they look and taste, how to enjoy them, which size to choose and how to store them.

What are black soybeans?

Black soybeans are a soybean variety with a black skin. They’re used in cooking across many Asian countries. When roasted, the skin cracks to reveal the pale inside — which gives them a striking look in the bowl.

Like other soybeans, black soybeans are a source of plant protein.

Taste and texture

They taste lightly sweet and nutty with a gentle touch of salt. The texture is crunchy and dense — a little firmer than roasted edamame. They’re quite different from peanuts or cashews, so they’re a good pick if you fancy a change.

Ideas for enjoying roasted black soybeans

• Straight from the jar when you take a break.
• Mixed with roasted green edamame for an eye-catching two-colour mix.
• Combined with other nuts and dried fruit as a trail mix.
• Sprinkled over salads or porridge for texture.
• A small tub to take to the office.

Choosing a size

• 100g — for a first try.
• 150g — personal snacking.
• 400g — a small family or monthly supply.
• 700g — big families and office pantries.

How to store them

Roasted black soybeans come in a clear screw-top jar. Close it tightly after use and keep it somewhere cool and dry. Check the expiry date on the pack.
