This cannot be real? 42g of fiber per 100g of these black turtle beans?
I found these ‘black turtle beans’ in my grocery store but the nutrition just seems too good to be true, can this be trusted?

I suggest you start with very small amounts, lol. The body does not take well to new amounts of fiber
But no it’s probably not correct. Hard to find anything with more than 20 g / 100g, and that’s already a lot.
42 sounds barely edible

That’s an unbelievable amount of fiber. Aren’t Pinto near 10g per 100? There’s no way it’s 4x

Consider that the cooked weight will actually approximately triple. Cooked beans generally have about 9g fiber per 100g cooked. The macro breakdown is a bit high, but within a reasonable margin, and some legumes definitely have higher fiber than others (I’m looking at you, Jacob’s cattle beans).

Those macros are almost definitely on an ‘as packaged’ basis, as . You’re going to greatly dilute that fiber down when you re-hydrate the beans by cooking it. Prepared beans will get you ~10g fiber per 100g. That’s about 2.5 cups of cooked beans to get ~45g of fiber.
It’s illegal to falsify nutrition labels, so yes it is real.

Probably high.
From the USDA’s nutrition database, 100 g dried black turtle beans have: 339 kcal energy, 21.3 g protein, 0.9 g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 63.3 g carbs, 2.1 g sugars, **15.5 g fiber**.

Source: I used data from Cronometer which pulled the black bean nutrition information from [Nutrition Coordinating Center Food & Nutrient Database](http://www.ncc.umn.edu/food-and-nutrient-database/) (NCCDB)
