When the shell starts to turn yellow. The beans will be black inside. If you pick one, open it, and the beans are still white and moist inside, you need to let the rest grow some more.

If the beans are bubbly, smell yeasty or of rotten eggs, they are likely bad. If they have been mishandled and left unrefrigerated for some time, you might not be able to tell if they are safe to eat since some pathogenic microorganisms can grow without leaving telltale signs.

Cooked pinto beans are a potentially hazardous food and should be treated as such. In other words, after cooking, they should be refrigerated within 2 hours or less. Use them up within a few days.

It may. There are multiple definitions of chili.

For starters a chili is a pepper (capsicum) of various varieties with high capsaicin content, what makes it spicy.

-Chili con queso is a sauce (often called nacho cheese) made with cheese and chili peppers.

-Chili con frijole (which often contains pinto or black beans) is chilis with beans.

----- [ not to be confused with frijole olla or refried beans which are different]

-Chili con carne is chili's and beef, the beef could be machaca (a salted dried beef) or some cut of beef which has been shredded. Texas style chili is chili con carne, NO BEANS.

-Red chili is chili con carne made with red chilies and often a tomato base.

-Chili verde (green chili) is chili con carne is made with green chilies and often a tomatilla or a green tomato base.

-Chili sauce is a sauce made with a tomato or tomatilla base and chilies.

-Chicago style chili [at least all the versions I have tried] is a red chili with beans added and tends to be a bit more soupy than others, and is often made with ground beef rather than shredded beef.

Chili con Pollo is chili made with ground or shredded chicken, OR chicken that's been roasted and served with a chili sauce, I've seen both.

Needless, to say many of these versions of chili can also be used to make other "Tex-Mex" style dishes such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, chimichangas, tamales, empanadas, and more.

Yes, but not canned. They can cause excess gas and are nutritionally lacking.

The black turtle bean is often called simply the black bean (frijol negro in Spanish, feijão preto in Portuguese). The small, shiny black bean has a dense, meaty texture. Native to Central and South America, black beans have been a staple food source for over 7,000 years. They are popular all over Latin America, including Brazil, Cuba, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. It's also popular in Hispanic, Cajun, and Creole cuisines in North America. Black beans are among the most nutrient-dense of all common beans, a species that includes kidney beans, white beans, and pinto beans. These beans, along with corn (maize), and squash were the "three sisters" of Native American cuisine.

Black beans also make delicious soups. Some cooks keep the boiled water of these beans (which acquires a black coloring), season it, and consume it as a soup (known as sopa negra, black soup), as a broth (caldo de frijol, bean broth) or to season or color other dishes.

Cannelloni is a pasta dish with no beans in it. Cannellini beans are large white beans.

As all beans come from plants if the serving consists only of beans then there is no cholesterol at all.

However if the beans were prepared with any animal product the serving will have the cholesterol that came from that product.

black beans came from Cuba

Black is a total absence of reflected light. As light is a wavelength it has no taste, so neither has black. Of course, the surface that is absorbing all the light to create the effect of black can have a taste. It depends on what it is, some kinds of paints taste, and a black candle would taste of wax and perfume, or maybe a chocolate cake or somthing along those lines, but black, by itself, cant have a taste at all because color is an abstract concept. You can't have color by itself, its always reflected off somthing. And that somthing might have a taste.

They should be able to last the whole winter.

Traditionally, pulses and cereals have been used as staple diet in many cultures. The idea is that such food stuffs do not spoil easily and they can be stored for later consumption.

Just store your bean in cool and dry place. Soak overnight before cooking and they should make a tasty meal :)

Technically, beans are a vegetable. However, many beans provide nutritional benefits similar to meat. For this reason, dry beans and peas are part of both the Meat/Poultry and Vegetable groups, according to the food pyramid maintained by the US Government site mypyramid.gov.

Beans don't usually smell bad. But what they do is cause gases to build up in the body and cause you to have more flatulence (farting). Beans can be hard to digest, and as such, they rot in the intestines, and they give off methane gas.

Canned black beans typically have between 6-8g of protein per half cup serving.
