Black Bean from the Caribbean (Phaseolus vulgaris): native to a famous unnamed island starting with C, a few miles away from here; this is a delicious, traditional black bean, protagonist of many recipes based on “Salsa”.

That is because of two main reasons: the first is the difficult soil and climate of the Caribbean, where it was selected, which is also more permeated by pathogens and harmful insects than in more temperate weathers.
